The Agra Police Commissionerate is the primary law enforcement agency for the city of Agra in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is a unit of the Uttar Pradesh Police and has the primary responsibilities of law enforcement and investigation within the limits of Agra. It is headed by the Commissioner of Police (CP), who is an IPS officer of IGP rank.
