Shape files for Police Jurisdiction Maps of Delhi

[Anisha Garg]

Hello,

I hope you are doing well! :)

I am a PhD student, working on crime in India.

I am writing on this platform for help regarding police jurisdiction boundaries for Delhi. I saw that the shape files are available for 2014 (https://groups.google.com/g/datameet/c/G3EQ5ggZkKc/m/A5IHsj1AvXkJ). However, I wanted to check if anyone has curated the latest set after the change. I would appreciate any help on this front.

Looking forward to any help! :)

Thank You

Warm Regards,
Anisha

Hi Anisha,

The GSDL GIS Server has a layer with police station jurisdictional boundaries at various levels: https://gsdl.org.in/arcgis/rest/services/Delhi_Police/Delhi_Police/MapServer?f=json

I have scraped them and put them up here: https://gist.github.com/Vonter/a1f0f9d50a587ce059ddcfb086fc0fac

On the above link the files are GeoJSONs, you should be able to download it as a ZIP file and convert the GeoJSONs to Shapefiles using QGIS or a tool like mapshaper: https://mapshaper.org/

I'm not sure how old the data is or what the license is, but it has:

* 7 Ranges

* 16 Districts

* 67 Sub Divisions

* 180 Police Station Boundaries

* 224 Police Station Locations

I'm guessing this is the latest data, since even the Delhi Police page on Wikipedia mentions only 15 Districts.

Regards,

Vivek

Thank you so much for this, Vivek!:)

Does anyone also know where to get the information regarding population within each police jurisdiction to calculate crime per capita?

Thank You

Warm Regards,

Thanks Vivek for sharing this. Very helpful. I am trying to do some research on gender mobility in Indian cities and Delhi is one of them. Do you have any leads on where I can get police station wise crime rate in general and crime rate against women?

Regards

Karthick
