Goa Police

With Liberation and the departure of the Portuguese, began a long and exhaustive overhaul of the Goa Police. Work to reorganize the police department on the lines of what existed in the rest of the country, began in right earnest. N R Nagu took over as the first Inspector General of Police (IGP) of free Goa and a host of other appointments were made just a day after liberation. Services of those officials serving the PEI were protected and they were suitably accommodated in Goa Police. Those who wished to be relieved were allowed to do so with effect from February 1, 1962. However, the ranks and organizational structure of the PEI was retained for a longer period before being transformed in keeping with what existed in the country. Officers taken on deputation had meanwhile begun to introduce policing systems based on Indian laws and procedures.
