Nongpok Sekmai police station in Manipur's Thoubal district has been chosen as best performing Police Station in the country. AWPS-Suramangalam police station in Tamil Nadu's Salem district and Kharsang in Arunachal Pradesh's Changlang district have been adjudged as the second and third best performing police stations.

While addressing the Directors General of Police during the 2015 Conference in Kutch, Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had directed that parameters should be laid down for grading police stations and assessing their performance based on feedback.

According to reports, this year's survey for best police stations was conducted under challenging circumstances by the Home Ministry. It was difficult to access police stations located in remote areas during the Corona pandemic due to various restrictions on movement.

Consequently, the survey was conducted in accordance with the guidelines of the Government. Home minister Amit Shah said that a vast majority of police stations short-listed from the thousands of police stations in the country are police stations located in small towns and rural areas.

The ranking process commenced with shortlisting of the best performing Police Stations, in each state on the basis of addressing, property offence, crime against women, crime against weaker sections and missing persons.

Union government selects best performing Police Stations across the country every year to incentivize more effective functioning of police stations and bring healthy competition among them.
