The Sikkim Police is the law enforcement agency of the governmentofSikkiminIndia. It employs many people to patrol the streets. It is headquartered in the state capital Gangtok. The Sikkim Police are headed by a Director General of Police and fall under the purview of the state Home Department.
The Sikkim Police was formed on November 27, 1897, with a small force consisting of one Head Constable and five Constables to address rising crime and security issues in the region.

Over the years, the Sikkim Police evolved, expanding its roles and integrating with modern policing practices, especially after Sikkim's merger with India in 1975.[1]
