Nepal
Police is the national and primary law enforcement agency of Nepal. It is
primarily responsible for maintaining law and order, prevention of crime and
crime investigation within the jurisdiction determined by the Constitution of
Nepal. Apart from its primary role, it conducts a vast array of duties such as
VIP protection, Security of Vital Installations, Traffic management, Secret
services, Intelligence collection, Riot Control, Disaster management, Hostage
rescue and various other Ceremonial roles. Nepal Police is currently led by
Inspector General of Police Deepak Thapa, who is the 31st IGP, since
18 March 2025.
It
is not free of politics; there are ongoing allegations and discussions
regarding political interference in its operations, including promotions and
transfers, which are often influenced by political parties and their leaders.
Lawmakers and retired officials have pointed to this interference as a
significant challenge, eroding public trust and hindering the organization's
professional integrity.
This
VDO indicates utmost dissatisfaction among the police personnel about the existing
political interferences in the entire police administration and operation.
