Because you are living in the U.S., you should obtain a statement from the
closest Indian consulate/embassy.

Subject: Police Clearance Certificate
Terri,
MY CASE-
My Passport was issued by Passport Office, Jaipur in 1993. For additional pages, I had applied for additional booklet at Consular General office at NY around sept2001 and I had received additional booklet having a different passport No.
In the case of following rule (as pasted from INS website), my
understanding is that I fall in the category of "whose passports were
issued in last 6 months". But I don\'t reside in India. Hence I want to know - Which office would be a right legal authority (in eyes of US
consulates and embassy) to give me Police clearance certificate?
Regards,
myself
POLICE RECORD for GREEN CARD PURPOSES-
All Indian IV applicants aged 16 and over, residing in India, should
obtain police certificates from the local Passport Office. Applicants whose Indian passport was issued within the past six months may present just the Passport Office Police Certificate, and need not obtain additional police clearances.
Applicants over age 16, whose passports were issued more than six months previous to visa application, must also obtain a police clearance from the District Police Office serving the applicant\'s place of residence.
Indian passport holders applying for visas outside India should obtain a statement from their local embassy or consulate confirming they have no criminal record.
Non-Indian IV applicants residing in India should obtain police
certificates from the District Police Station serving their area of residence.
Indian police certificates are not available for foreign (non-Indian) applicants applying outside India.
