In today's world, technology has become an integral part of everyday life. We rely on it in nearly every aspect of our lives, from communication to entertainment and everything in between. This is especially true when it comes to law enforcement, as police departments are increasingly relying on technology to help them better serve the community. The concept of technology is basically the use of science in day to day life and Indian Police organizations today are thoroughly equipped with the technology, although a lot more is to be accomplished. The police in India is still carrying the legacy of the colonial rule in its structure, duties, work culture and expectations. The functions of the police and their duties were limited in scope in early times, which by the winds of time have increased with population and means of communication. The times has changed and so is the police organization. The era when technology in the police organization was just a stick has now changed to wireless, radars and various other devices catering to the need of the twenty first century. Police using technology can be attributed under two broad categories, which are Police as users and Police against abuse. Police in today's world use the available technology to track the criminals and punish them, but in the course of doing so, they also face serious problems and threat to their life as well as most of times Indian Police do not possess the required arms and ammunition to fight the perpetrators of crime. Indian Police is still very backward with regard to the use of technology. Technology is the need of the hour and the force has to be well equipped with technology to fight the intermittent dangers of the society. The paper shall focus upon the evolution of police organizations in India and the technological difference between the ancient and modern police and the means to overcome the hurdles to make a crime free society and at the same time the need of technology in the twenty first century in the police organizations
