The President’s Police Colour Award, also known as the Nishaan, is among the highest collective honours bestowed on police forces in India for sustained excellence, discipline, and professionalism. Sikkim Police earned this prestigious recognition, making Sikkim the 15th state in India and the third in the North-East to receive the award since Independence. The honour reflects the force’s long-term commitment to public service, integrity, and effective law enforcement in a strategically sensitive border state. The ceremonial presentation of the flag and insignia during a Colour Presentation Parade symbolises national pride and institutional achievement.
