There is no authoritative record on the history of Police in ancient Kerala. To a great extent one has to rely upon the earliest literary documents starting from the Sanghom period (200 AD). The literary works of the Sanghom period, namely Akamkrithikal, Pathittipattu and Chilppathikaram, depict the ancient policing system. These works refer to the appointment of Sentries and watchmen who were posted on the highways to protect the travellers and caravans of merchants, etc. Chilappathikaram gives a detailed account of investigation of cases by a special group of people. The literary works of Sanghom period also describe various types of Kaval (guard),Kanchukil (who had kanchukam or uniform),Harrikaran (Officer with designated duties),Souvidithon (one who attends Court duties),Vetradharan (Bodyguard of the King),Dwarapalakas (Armed men guarding the gates and entrance) and Darsaka or Prathihara (Personal assistant to the King, and Kolkaran (man armed with a stick). Those who were posted in the secret service section were described as Charan, Doothan, Apasarpakan and Goodapurushan.
