About Goa Police

The Goa Police as an independent organisation was born in April 1946 with the establishment of Policia do Estado da India (PEI) Police of India,  through a decree of the Portuguese regime which ruled Goa until 1961. Until then, all policing functions including the maintenance of law and order were  being carried out by the Portuguese military.The PEI was responsible for carrying out the functions of vigilance and maintenance of general order and comprised the following branches: public security, judicial police, internal and external traffic police, administrative & municipal police and civil identifications. Two years later, appropriate rules governing the police were framed on the lines of the legislation then prevailing in Portugal.In the two-year period of the rules being framed,the PEI functioned under the regulations of  O Corpo de Policia e Fiscalizacao da India (CPFI) – The Corps of Police and Inspection Services of India that had been set up in 1924 to function as the policing arm of the military. The police services had been placed under the direct supervision of the CPFI command.The PEI was organized into five territorial divisions for efficient performance with each division headed by a commissioner who reported to the commander of the PEI. The PEI thus developed into a supreme law and order establishment, with even officials and agents of organizations such as Customs having to inform it about violations that came to their notice. Not only did the PEI have powers to conduct search and seizure operations, it could also frame proceedings for prosecution and file cases for extraditing criminals.Punishment and rewards were used to enhance efficiency of the police force. Punishment included verbal admonishment, censure, fines, detention upto 130 days and imprisonment for upto 30 days, reversion, compulsory retirement and dismissal. If the punishment was stiff, the rewards were generous: exemption from service upto 12 days, leave with salary upto 30 days and pecuniary benefits upto 30 days' pay.
