The Kollam City Police is the law enforcement agency concerned with the maintenance of law and order in the Indian city of Kollam and the municipality of Karunagappalli, including the Chavara, Chathannoor and Paravur divisions.
In the pre-independence era, Kerala was divided into princely states of Travancore and Cochin and the Malabar region for the smooth administration. There were no Commissionerates in Kollam and Thrissur till 2011. The whole district police was administered by DySP of Kollam, Karunagappally, Kottarakkara and Punalur. As per the Government Order no 32/2011/Home dated 5 February 2011, Kollam district police was divided into Kollam Urban Police District (Kollam City Police) and Kollam Rural Police District. The City Police is headed by a City Police Commissioner(CP), with its headquarters at Kollam. The rural police is headed by the District Police Chief (DPC), with its headquarters at Kottarakkara. Both heads report to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Thiruvananthapuram Range (Kerala). The Kollam City Police came into existence on 1 March 2011 following the division of the Kollam District Police force into the Kollam City Police and the Kollam Rural Police.
The office of the Kollam's City Police Commissioner is situated near the Armed Reserve Police Force camp in Kollam Cantonment.
There are a total of 17 police stations under the control of Kollam City Police, eight of which are under the control of the Kollam Division with four further stations under Karunagappally and Chathannoor divisions respectively.
