Why it matters
It highlights the evolving role of urban law enforcement in managing the complexities of modern, high-growth metropolitan areas.
How is policing in Cyberabad different from conventional urban policing, and what are your top priorities?
Cyberabad is a unique commissionerate because it was created through a dedicated legislation, the Cyberabad Metropolitan Police Act, passed in 2003. From the beginning, the leadership understood the kind of future this region was heading towards. Cyberabad tried to position police as an enabler rather than merely an enforcer. That philosophy became part of the culture here. Over the years, as the region transformed from hillocks and sparse settlements into an IT, financial and GCC hub, the police force also evolved alongside it.
Cyberabad today is like a mini-India. People from all parts of the country live and work here. Naturally, policing here is very different from conventional urban policing.
