References to colonial policing practice must go, says KCR
Telangana police, which has been shaping up as people-friendly police, must also aspire to become a cultured police organisation, Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao said, expressing his wish for the department, here on Thursday.
“References to colonial policing practice must go. The department should work out strategies, learn and improve from best practices to emerge as a cultured police force,” he said.
A cultured Telangana police force, in addition to its knowledge management, pioneering technology and operational practices, would become a shining example for the country, Mr. Rao said.
The Chief Minister was speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the newly-constructed State’s Integrated Police Command & Control Centre (IPCCC), a state-of-the art multi-agency operations centre built at a cost of ₹600 crore, on Road No 12, Banjara Hills.
A green building, with a built-up area of 4.26 lakh square feet, employing world-class technology through advanced techniques such as big data analytics and artificial intelligence for policing, the iconic structure will also house the Hyderabad city police commissionerate.
The Chief Minister observed that IPCCC will not just enhance police operations, but would remain a cornerstone in everyday governance, while coordinating with and converging data from various departments.
Conceptualised in 2014, he said the realisation of the project showed the will of the government to achieve, improve quality and quest for excellence. He expressed confidence that the Telangana police would continue to create excellence with the Centre in their hands.
