A new police commissionerate from Mira Road to Virar, comprising 20 police stations, will be inaugurated on 15 August 2019. Currently, the Mira-Bhayandar stretch falls under the jurisdiction of Thane (rural) district police, and Vasai-Virar falls under Palghar district police.
Of the 20 police stations, five police stations falling under Thane (rural) will be moved to the commissionerate, while Palghar police will let go jurisdictions of eight police stations. Seven new police stations will be created.
