About Us
Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) is in-charge of Crime Prevention, Detection and Investigation within Mumbai City. Various branches operate within the crime branch under their supervision. DCPs are the heads of those branches.
History of C.I.D. : Criminal Investigation Department
If the Bombay Police has earned the sobriquet “Second to Scotland Yard”, it is because of the excellent investigations carried out by the Criminal Investigation Department.
Prior to 1884, there was no properly organized detective department. The government was not in favor of establishing a separate detective staff, as it feared that doing so would lead to inter-departmental jealousy and conflict. However, the police circumvented this obstacle by setting up a detective branch that was part of the regular ranks.
In 1890, permission was granted to change the name of the Detective Branch to the Criminal Investigation Department, although it remained a part of the police force.
The Tilak riots of 1908, which exposed the ineffectiveness of police intelligence gathering, changed the government’s stance. S. M. Edwardes subsequently set up the Criminal Investigation Department (C.I.D.) on June 8, 1909. It replaced the old Detective Branch and functioned as an elite organization under the control of an officer of the Imperial Police.
He was given the rank of DCP — the first being F. A. M. H. Vincent — while the existing DCP continued to deal with the Divisional Police.
The four main areas the C.I.D. worked on were Political, Foreign, Crime, and Miscellaneous, each under an Inspector of Police. One of its primary tasks was to look into cases of a sensitive, political, or religious nature — a responsibility that continues even today.

Greater Mumbai Police Band
About Us
Even though the Naigaon Police Headquarter ground was technically well designed best to the knowledge, and was very attractive for police drills, the parades, etc. until and unless the Mumbai Police Department does not have its own band for the parade, the parade cannot be felt complete and satisfactory, was thought and discussed by one of the respected personalities. Due to the government’s economic and financial policies, it was not possible to spend on the police band at that time, so the donators from the respected personalities came forward and made a resolution to avail band instrument and accessories to Mumbai police until the next yearly police ceremonial parade to be held in the month of December. Along with the respected personalities and charitable businessmen, the common people also donated money as per their budget and a well enough fund was collected from which band instruments and accessories were purchased. This is how early in the year 1936 Mumbai City Police got its own first brass band department.
At last the day arise in the 1936 December ceremonial parade respected personalities decided that the Mumbai police band should perform independently. The multi-talented sportsman Governor Lord Brabourne finally permitted the Mumbai Police Band to perform independently in the special yearly ceremonial parade on 18th December 1936 at Naigaon Police ground in Mumbai. The police band performed first time independently in front of the public and showed their extraordinary musical instrument playing skills. The Mumbai Police band received a congratulatory pat on their back for their marvelous performance. During this period in a special program Governor Lord Brabourne specially honored all charitable donator’s with his hands. He also appreciated bandmaster Mr. Gardner and bandsmen for their excellent work. The then the Commissioner of Police, Mumbai Barrister W.R.G. Smith was also thanked by everyone for his special efforts to form a band in Mumbai police. This way Mumbai Police got its Band Department and that’s why 18th December is celebrated as Mumbai Police Band’s Day.
