Ras Al Khaimah Police was established on May 1, 1965. It started with a small force of about 100 personnel led by two officers and some non-commissioned officers. This force was able to control the security situation in the Emirate because the crime at the time was limited if not in the conservative community of the Emirate .
However, due to the increasing numbers of population and urban growth and the accompanying recruitment of expatriate labor, which brought with it customs and traditions not known to the emirate before, there was a need to develop some departments and departments that meet and keep pace with new developments taking place.
The leadership of Ras Al Khaimah Police has been followed by a number of sincere and loyal leaders in the love of the homeland, including Major General Sheikh Sultan bin Salem Al Qasimi, then took over by Major General Sheikh Talib Bin Saqr Al Qasimi in 1995 and until 2014, and succeeded in November 2014, Ali Abdullah bin Alwan Al Nuaimi
