Union Home Ministry Awards Best Police Station Certificate to Digboi, Assam

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Government of India, has bestowed one of its most prestigious recognitions, the Best Police Station Certificate, upon the Digboi Police Station, located in Tinsukia district of Assam. This significant accolade highlights the station’s exceptional dedication, discipline, and efficiency in maintaining law and order, as well as its consistent commitment to public service.

The recognition, issued directly by the Union Home Ministry in New Delhi, is part of the Government of India’s ongoing effort to identify, encourage, and reward police stations across the country that set benchmarks in service delivery, community engagement, and effective policing. Digboi Police Station has emerged as a model not only for the Tinsukia district but also for the entire state of Assam.

Officials have pointed out that this certificate is not simply an award but a strong acknowledgment of the station’s role in building and preserving public trust. By ensuring safety, upholding discipline, and maintaining effective communication with the local population, the Digboi Police personnel have earned both respect and credibility within the community they serve. Their consistent performance in law enforcement activities and public safety initiatives has made them stand out among other police stations.

As part of the formal recognition process, the Officer-in-Charge of Digboi Police Station is scheduled to receive the award in an official ceremony on August 22. The event will be held at the Conference Hall of the Assam Police Headquarters in Ulubari, Guwahati. The award will be presented by the Director General of Police (DGP), Assam, which further underlines the importance of this recognition at the state level. Such formal acknowledgment by the highest state-level police authority is expected to boost the morale of Digboi Police Station’s personnel and encourage them to continue their exemplary work.

The Union Home Ministry’s initiative to rank and certify the best-performing police stations is aimed at fostering a spirit of healthy competition among stations across the country. By recognizing Digboi Police Station, the ministry also seeks to inspire other stations in Assam to adopt similar standards of efficiency, transparency, and community-oriented policing. Officials believe that such recognition can motivate police personnel to go beyond routine duties and focus more on building trust, ensuring accountability, and delivering services in a people-friendly manner.

The accolade also reflects the broader vision of the Ministry of Home Affairs to modernize police services and ensure that policing in India aligns with the principles of professionalism, empathy, and accessibility. Digboi Police Station’s recognition stands as a testament to the idea that effective policing is not only about crime control but also about meaningful engagement with society.

In essence, this honor represents a combination of factors: the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice of the Digboi Police personnel; their commitment to public service; and their ability to deliver results in challenging conditions. It also sets a benchmark for what every police station in Assam should strive to achieve—strong community ties, efficient service delivery, transparent functioning, and unwavering dedication to maintaining law and order.

Ultimately, the recognition of Digboi Police Station as the “Best Police Station” symbolizes not only the achievements of a single station but also the aspirations of the Assam Police force as a whole. It demonstrates how localized excellence can have statewide and even national implications, encouraging a culture of better policing that benefits both law enforcement agencies and the citizens they serve.
