DGP C.V. Anand has announced a strategic reorientation of the police force to address modern challenges like cybercrime and organized gangs over the next two decades. The review of Warangal Police performance showed a slight decline in reported crime rates.
Why it matters
Police departments are increasingly shifting focus from traditional law and order to specialized digital and economic crime prevention.
Director General of Police C.V. Anand said the police department was undergoing a transformation and being reoriented to meet policing requirements over the next 15 to 20 years.
Mr. Anand reviewed the performance of Warangal Police and examined trends across major crime heads at a meeting held in Warangal on Sunday.
The meeting was attended by Superintendents of Police of EAGLE, Cyber Security Bureau (CSB), TG-SPARK and CID, besides senior officials of the Warangal Police Commissionerate.
In his opening remarks, the DGP traced the transformation of policing over the past three decades, from the peak of Left-Wing Extremism in the 1990s and its eventual end to the restructuring measures being undertaken to tackle emerging challenges, including cybercrime, narcotics and organised gangs.
