Goa received the President’s Colour for its police force in recognition of eight decades of dedicated service, bravery, and professionalism. Union Home Minister Amit Shah conferred the honour on Goa Police in Panaji on September 7, 2026. The Goa Police has adopted several technology-enabled policing measures, including an AI-powered call agent for the 1930 cyber fraud helpline and an improved 112 emergency response system. Its conviction rate increased significantly from 23% to 53% within a year. The force has also made substantial progress in implementing the new criminal laws and is expected to contribute to the Nasha Mukt Bharat 2029 initiative.
