Bengaluru City Police
Bengaluru City Police (BCP), also known as the Bangalore City Police, is the law enforcement agency responsible for Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.
The BCP is under the administrative control of the Government of Karnataka, and is led by the city's Commissioner of Police, a senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officer. As of 2025, the Commissioner of Police of Bengaluru City is Seemant Kumar Singh, IPS.
The BCP oversees responsibilities such as foot patrols, traffic enforcement, emergency response, and public safety.
Administratively, the force is organised into 11 law-and-order divisions and 4 traffic divisions, each headed by a Deputy Commissioner of Police. Each division is further subdivided into sub-divisions supervised by an Assistant Commissioner of Police. Police stations are led by Police Inspectors and are responsible for community policing, crime investigation, and local law enforcement.
Policing in Bengaluru has its origins in the administrative systems of the Kingdom of Mysore, where law enforcement responsibilities were carried out through local officials and traditional watch arrangements.
Under British rule in the 19th century, organised police forces were developed, and following India's independence in 1947, policing in Bengaluru fell under the administration of the Government of Karnataka.
As the city expanded, the Bengaluru City Police was formally established in 1963, with the first police force to be established in the State of Karnataka. The first Commissioner of Police was C. Chandy, who held the rank of Deputy Inspector General of Police. Over time, the force expanded in size and structure, with the creation of additional law-and-order and traffic divisions, police stations, and specialised wings dedicated to crime detection, traffic regulation, and public safety. Cyber Crime Units, Narcotics Control Wing, and Women and Child Safety Units were established to address emerging urban challenges, including increased traffic density, technology-enabled crime, and crimes against women and children.
In the 21st century, the Bengaluru City Police increasingly adopted technology-driven policing methods, such as the Safe City Project, to better coordinate emergency responses.
