History
The union territory of Ladakh was formed on 31 October as a result of provisions contained within the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019.[3] The region was previously part of the former state of Jammu and Kashmir and policing was the responsibility of the Jammu and Kashmir Police. A new police force for Ladakh was created when the new union territory was established.[4]
Organizational structure
Ladakh Police is under the direct control of Department of Home Affairs, Government of India. It is headed by Inspector General of Police (IGP).
