Hyderabad: The Hyderabad City Police have renamed several police stations and revised their jurisdictions to address administrative challenges arising from the city’s growing population. The reorganisation, approved by the state government, marks the first major structural change in 35 years.

The restructured model addresses jurisdictional issues and operational inefficiencies highlighted by both public feedback and internal reviews, aiming to enhance law enforcement effectiveness across the city. The reorganisation, which involves only internal readjustment of the sanctioned strength of 17,020 personnel without any additional financial outlay, is designed to serve the city’s policing needs for the next decade.

City Police Commissioner C V Anand announced the creation of a new Law and Order police station in Tolichowki, marking it as the 72nd such station under the Commissionerate.

Major changes introduced:

1. Establishment of Tolichowki Police Station

A new Law & Order Police Station – Tolichowki Police Station – has been established, bringing the total number of L&O stations under the Hyderabad City Police to 72. The new station will serve areas previously under Filmnagar, Mehdipatnam (formerly Humayun Nagar), and Golconda Police Stations.

2. Renaming of divisions and police stations

To enhance public identification and local relevance, several divisions and police stations have been renamed:

3. Traffic police restructuring and renaming

4. Strengthening of Women Safety Wing (WSW)

The Women Safety Wing has been reinforced with two specialised units:

  • Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU): Staffed with eight personnel, including one Inspector.
  • Juvenile Bureau Unit: Comprising seven staff members led by an Inspector.

5. Zonal Cyber Crime Cells (ZCCs)

To bolster cybercrime response, ZCCs have been set up in each L&O Zone, each staffed with one Sub-Inspector and five Constables.

6. Enhanced manpower allocation

To meet the demands of expanding jurisdiction and specialised functions, an additional 327 personnel have been allocated to the L&O wing and 321 to the Traffic wing.

The updated jurisdiction maps, contact information, and station locations will soon be published on the official website of the Hyderabad City Police, offering citizens greater clarity and access to services.
