The Kollam City Police (Malayalam:കൊല്ലം സിറ്റി പോലീസ്) 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.[2][3] Headed by a Commissioner of Police, who is an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, administrative control vests with the Home Ministry of Kerala. Departments such as administration, the District Crime Records Bureau (DCRB), Crime Detachment and Special Branch are each headed by an Assistant commissioner. 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.

History
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).[11]
