Earlier the district police used to investigate cases relating to problems of women including cases of demand of dowry, immoral traffic in women and girls, rape, eveteasing, etc. However, a need was felt to open Police Stations headed by women police officers and hence the first Mahila Police Station was established in March 1989 at Jaipur. Now there are 40 women Police Station in Rajasthan at Jaipur 4 (Jaipur City North, South, East, west), Ajmer, Nagaur, Jodhpur City, Jodhpur Rural, Jodhpur west, Jalor, Kota City, Kota Rural, Baran, Jhalawar, Alwar, Sikar, Bharatpur, Sawai madhopur, Udaipur, Banswara, Chittorgarh, Pali, Bhilwara, Bikaner, Churu, Hanumangarh, Ganganagar, Rajsamand, Bundi, Sirohi, Jaipur Rural, Tonk, Jhunjhunu, Dholpur, Pratapgarh, Barmer, Dausa, Dungarpur, Jaisalmer and Karoli. Cased registered at these police stations are investigated by women police officers. Also, for better supervision and monitoring of these cases, a cell has been created in the CID (Crime Branch) headed by a Superintendent of Police. Similarly, for better coordination at the district level, women cells have been created in 43 district headquarters.
