Hyderabad, March 13:

The twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad will soon get four police commissionerates under Greater Hyderabad Commissionerate, Andhra Pradesh Director General of Police V Dinesh Reddy said today.
Addressing a press conference here, he said the four new Commissionerates-- Hyderabad Commissionerate, Hyderabad South, Secunderabad Commissionerate and Cyberabad Commissionerate-- will have equal number of Commissioners of Police and it would be headed by Chief Commissioner of Police (CCP).
Mr Reddy said the new commissionerates will be established after merging the existing Hyderabad and Cyberabad Commissionerates.

The committee of police officers will examine the structure and functioning of Mumbai and Chennai police commissionerates to adopt better administrative principles in the proposed new commissionerates.

“The proposal requires no new infrastructure like buildings, vehicles or resources. The present policemen and officers will be disbursed equally among the four new ones,” the DGP said.

However, it is not yet decided whether to bring the traffic police under a single umbrella after the unification and continue that system.

The possibility of each commissionerate having a separate traffic police wing akin to other units like Task Force cannot be ruled out. But, the city traffic police would have a new dress code on the lines of their counterparts in Bangalore.

After analysing the report, steps would be taken to set up the Commissionerates by issuing notification, the DGP said, adding as per the overhaul,the police stations in Urban Areas in Hyderabad will remain the same and in rural areas, there will be some changes like shifting the police stations to another place.
