This law establishes, structures, and regulates the Arunachal Armed Police force, a specialized armed state police unit in Arunachal Pradesh.

The Act defines active duty, establishes strict chains of command, outlines general security and disaster relief duties, and enforces rigorous disciplinary measures for misconduct, desertion, or mutiny. It matters because it ensures the state maintains an organized, disciplined, and legally empowered armed force capable of maintaining public order, protecting property, and managing security threats.
