In Dadra & Nagar Haveli & Daman & Diu, the Director General of Police (DGP) is responsible for maintaining law and order in this relatively small but strategically located Union Territory. The DGP plays a vital role in overseeing the policing of the territory’s coastal areas, managing industrial security, and ensuring the safety of both residents and tourists. The region has a thriving tourism industry, with numerous beaches and resorts, which presents unique challenges related to tourism-related crimes and accidents.
The DGP also works on modernizing the police force, enhancing crime detection, and maintaining a strong anti-narcotics and anti-smuggling presence due to the proximity of international borders. Regular training programs and community outreach are essential to improving police efficiency and fostering trust within the community.
