Historical Heritage & Genesis of Thane Police
Thane holds a distinguished place in Maharashtra’s economic and cultural history. To address rapid industrialization and urban population growth, the erstwhile District Superintendent Office was elevated to an independent Police Commissionerate on October 1, 1981.
Today, Thane Police Commissionerate spans 5 strategic administrative zones covering Thane City, Bhiwandi, Kalyan-Dombivli, Ulhasnagar, and Wagle Estate, operating 35 fully-equipped police stations protecting vital economic corridors.
Our Core Vision & Philosophy
Thane City Police is guided by the official motto: "सद्रक्षणाय खलनिग्रहणाय" (To protect the good and overcome evil) and "शासक नाही, सेवक" (Not rulers, but public servants). In a rapidly evolving digital era, citizens deserve immediate, verified, and transparent access to police services without bureaucratic friction.
