According to the MHA, the criteria for choosing the best police stations was primarily their performance in crime prevention, investigation and disposal of cases, crime detection, community policing and maintenance of law and order. A weightage of 20 per cent was given to the infrastructure of the police stations and citizen feedback on the performance of the police personnel.
