HYDERABAD: Director General of Police C.V. Anand on Saturday directed officers to adopt cutting‑edge technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen crime investigation, law and order management and overall policing efficiency in the state.
At a review meeting in the DGP’s Office, Anand stressed the need to bring major police technology platforms — including the Telangana police website, Hawkeye, CCTNS and HRMS — under a unified framework. He announced a permanent technical team to ensure continuity of initiatives irrespective of transfers, with young personnel encouraged to join and learn emerging AI systems.
Anand instructed that a high‑speed platform be developed for quick integration of data layers and proposed an AI Task Force, on the lines of “Marvel,” to monitor all AI‑related projects. He suggested a unified mobile platform, “TS‑COPS,” integrating systems such as CCTNS and HRMS for single‑interface access.
The DGP directed officers to prepare a joint action plan for AI‑based platforms like CCTNS 2.0 and data‑driven dashboards, and ordered integration of all offices with the e‑Office system. He emphasised that technology must translate into practical outcomes at field level.
To ensure timely completion, Anand constituted a five‑member IPS core team with a six‑month target. Hyderabad joint CP N. Shweta will oversee CCTNS 2.0 and HRMS, DIG R. Bhaskaran will integrate AI into CCTNS, DCP (SM & IT) Chennuri Rupesh will handle social media, video analytics and drone technologies, SP K. Apoorva Rao will manage data intelligence and training, and IPS officer Avinash Mohanty will monitor traffic and road safety modules.
Technical Services DGP V.V. Srinivasa Rao, senior officers and technical staff attended the meeting.
