History

Kohima North Police Station was opened in 1933 as the first police station to be established under the then-Naga Hills District of Assam Province, British India (now Nagaland, India).[5]

In 2020, the station became the first police station and a government facility in the entire North Eastern Region of India to receive the International Standard Organization (ISO) 9001 Certification for quality management system.[6]
