India PIN Code Guide

Finding Indian Police Stations by PIN Code

India uses a 6-digit Postal Index Number (PIN) system introduced in 1972 by the Department of Posts. Each PIN code identifies a specific post office and its delivery jurisdiction — and in most cases, a specific police station (thana) serves that area.

USA ZIP Code Guide

Find US Police Stations by ZIP Code

The United States has the world's most comprehensive police station open dataset — 23,043 stations from the HIFLD / Department of Justice database, every single one with a ZIP code. Whether you're looking for the NYPD precinct for 10001, the police department for a Houston ZIP, or a small-town department in rural Alabama, the search tool above covers them all.

US ZIP code structure

9 0 2 1 0
9 — Sectional center (Pacific states)

Browse all US ZIP codes

UK Postcode Police Finder

UK postcodes use an alphanumeric format: outward code (area + district, e.g. SW1A) + inward code (sector + unit, e.g. 1AA). Enter the outward code alone to find all stations in that area, or the full postcode for the most precise result.

All UK postcodes

Australia Postcode Police Finder

Australian postcodes are 4-digit numbers assigned by Australia Post. The first digit indicates the state: 1–2 = NSW/ACT, 3–8 = VIC/TAS, 4 = QLD, 5 = SA, 6 = WA, 7 = TAS, 8–9 = NT.

Area & Neighbourhood Search

Search by Area, Neighbourhood or Locality

Don't know the PIN code? You can search by locality name instead. Type a neighbourhood (Koramangala, Whitefield, Connaught Place), a suburb (Bondi, Fitzroy), a district (Westminster, Kreuzberg), or a city area — the finder will match it against station names, city names, and address fields across the entire database.

In an Emergency — Don't Search This Directory

This finder is for non-emergency use only. If you need immediate police assistance, call the emergency number for your country directly: 112 (Europe), 911 (USA/Canada), 999 (UK), 000 (Australia), 100 / 112 (India), 110 (Japan/China), 999 (UAE).

Why People Search Police Stations by PIN Code

Real situations where a postal code search gets you the right answer faster

📋

Filing an insurance claim

Insurance companies ask for the police station address where you filed the report. Searching by your local PIN code gives you the exact station and address to include in your claim form.

How to file a report
🧳

Reporting a theft abroad

Tourists often only know the PIN/postcode of the area where an incident happened. Enter it to find the nearest station, confirm it handles tourist reports, and check if English-speaking officers are noted.

When you move to a new area, knowing your local police station is part of settling in — for neighbourhood watch, noise complaints, or just knowing where to go if something happens.

Traffic incident reporting

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about finding police stations by PIN code and ZIP code

Can I find a police station by PIN code or ZIP code?
Yes. Use the search tool on this page to enter a PIN code (India), ZIP code (USA), postcode (UK/Australia), or any national postal code. The tool searches our database of 39+ countries and returns police stations that serve that postal area. Results show the station name, address, phone number where available, and a link to the full station listing with map.
Which countries support PIN code / ZIP code police station search?
All 39 countries in our verified station dataset support postal code search, including India (PIN codes), United States (ZIP codes), United Kingdom (postcodes), Australia (postcodes), France (code postal), Germany (Postleitzahl), Pakistan (postal codes), UAE, Brazil, Japan, and more. Coverage within each country depends on how many stations have postal codes recorded in the official source data.
What is a PIN code and how is it different from a ZIP code?
A PIN code (Postal Index Number) is India's 6-digit postal identifier introduced in 1972. It identifies a specific post office and its delivery area. A ZIP code is the United States equivalent — a 5-digit Zone Improvement Plan code assigned by USPS. Both serve the same purpose: identifying a geographic delivery zone. Other countries use similar systems under different names: postcode (UK, Australia), code postal (France), Postleitzahl (Germany), CEP (Brazil).
How many police stations can I find by Bangalore PIN code?
Bangalore's PIN codes start with 560. Our database contains hundreds of police stations across Karnataka, many with recorded PIN codes. Enter a specific Bangalore PIN code (e.g. 560001 for the MG Road area, 560102 for Whitefield, 560033 for Koramangala) and the search will return all stations recorded against that PIN code. Not every station in Bangalore has a PIN code on file — coverage depends on what was recorded in the source data.
Can I find a police station contact number by area name?
Yes. Switch to the 'City / Area / State' search tab and type a neighbourhood, suburb, district, or city name. Results will include all police stations with that location in their name or address. Station pages show the recorded phone number where one is available, or guidance on how to find the current number through official channels.

Is this tool official? Are the phone numbers verified?
Police-Stations.com is an independent informational directory — it is not operated by or affiliated with any police authority. Phone numbers and addresses are sourced from official government datasets (US DOJ, France data.gouv.fr, UK data.police.uk, etc.) and OpenStreetMap. They represent what was published at the time of data import and may not reflect current information. Always verify contact details with the official police authority before relying on them.
