A detailed historical look at how Calcutta’s police funding has been shaped by policy and finance.

The book examines the long history of costs for maintaining the Calcutta police, from early municipal controls to modern government funding. It explains how local revenues, taxes, and state contributions have influenced who pays for policing and how decisions were made in response to urban needs, health, and security. The volume also discusses official recommendations, key reports, and policy shifts that shaped whether policing costs remained municipal burdens or national responsibilities.

Readers will find clear context on the debates between local control and government support, with comparisons to other systems and a focus on the practical implications for city finances and public safety.

How police costs were historically funded and who paid
Key recommendations and policy changes over time
Influence of local governance and imperial policy on budgeting
Comparative notes on how other cities handle policing finance

Ideal for readers of urban history, public administration, and policy history who want a grounded look at how a major city’s police budget evolved.
