CM Revanth Reddy highlighted the new crimes such as cybercrime, digital fraud, morphing content, drugs, and human trafficking, which posed a big challenge for the police. Cybercrime news is appearing more in the newspapers than human crimes. It was a matter of pride that the Telangana police are ahead of other states in tackling the cyber crimes by adapting advanced technology. A ‘Cyber Security Bureau’ under the leadership of a DGP-level officer has already been established to combat cybercrimes.
This department is performing its duties efficiently and has become the best one in the country. The entire country is also saluting the Telangana Police for conducting inter-state operations to stop cyber criminals.
” The Telangana Police Department stood as a role model for the country in preventing terrorism, anti-social activities, communal agitations, white-collar crimes, drugs, cyber crimes, adulterated food, gutkha, matka and other anti-social activities in the state”, the CM said congratulating Telangana Police for instilling people’s confidence and created an environment where it is impossible to get away with committing a crime.

The CM appealed to the police to work hard in achieving the government’s resolve to make Telangana as a drug-free State in the country. Orders have already been issued delegating full powers to the police and taking stern action against those who are involved in drug trafficking.
The Chief Minister also highlighted the government’s resolve to appoint women police officers in the key departments. Telangana had set an example for the country by giving postings to qualified women IPS officers in several key wings of the police department. Today , the women IPS officers are heading the Telangana Police Academy, Prisons Department, SIB, ACB, CID, Vigilance, Armed Reserve, CCS, and Cyber Security Bureau.Seven women officers are discharging their duties as DCPs in Hyderabad, Cyberabad, and Rachakonda police commissionerates.
In view of increasing challenges in dealing with crime cases, investigation, traffic control, day patrol, night patrol, security, VIP protection, CM Revanth Reddy said that the government has also taken several welfare measures for the well being of the cops. The state government has recruited about 16,000 constables and SIs to reduce work burden and improve efficiency. Political interference was completely removed in the discharge of duties by the police.
For police welfare, the CM said
The highest compensation in the country is being provided to Telangana top police officers and all other rank officials in case they died in attacks by anti-social forces, terrorists and those who have been injured and disabled. A government job, house, free education in residential schools for their children, medical treatment, bus pass facilities and other schemes to one of the families of police officers who have died heroically in the line of duty were provided. Special seats in medical Colleges are also provided for the children of police martyrs.
