History
In 1984, the then Kerala Director General of Police (DGP) thought it would be a good idea to form a football team for the police department. He not only realized the potential of the talent pool available in the state, but also wanted to bring in a positive image of the people when thinking of the department.

Kerala Police Football Team is governed by the Kerala Police and has won the Federation Cup twice. In 1996-97 they participated in the inaugural edition of National Football League. In 1998 they took part in the first edition of NFL 2nd Division. Over the years they played several times in the Federation Cup and Durand Cup. In 2014-15 they reached the final of Kerala Premier League, but were defeated by SBT. In 2019-20 they reached the league semifinal.
