DGP Anand Pushes AI Policing Drive
Director General of Police C.V. Anand directed Telangana police officers to adopt AI and integrate platforms like Hawkeye and CCTNS under a unified system, forming a five-member IPS team to oversee implementation within six months. The initiative aims to enhance crime investigation, law enforcement, and operational efficiency through AI-driven solutions and a unified mobile platform called TS-COPS.
Telangana’s Director General of Police C.V. Anand ordered officers to adopt AI and advanced technologies to improve policing efficiency during a review meeting in Hyderabad. He emphasized integrating major platforms—including the Telangana police website, Hawkeye, CCTNS, and HRMS—into a single framework, ensuring continuity through a dedicated technical team. Anand proposed an AI Task Force, modeled after Marvel, to oversee AI projects and directed the development of a high-speed data platform for seamless integration. A unified mobile platform, TS-COPS, will consolidate systems like CCTNS and HRMS for streamlined access, while officers were tasked with creating a joint action plan for AI-based tools such as CCTNS 2.0 and data-driven dashboards. The DGP also mandated full integration with the e-Office system, stressing that technology must deliver tangible results at the field level. To meet a six-month deadline, Anand formed a five-member IPS core team: Hyderabad joint CP N. Shweta will oversee CCTNS 2.0 and HRMS, DIG R. Bhaskaran will embed AI into CCTNS, DCP Chennuri Rupesh will manage social media, video analytics, and drone technologies, SP K. Apoorva Rao will handle data intelligence and training, and IPS officer Avinash Mohanty will monitor traffic and road safety modules. Technical Services DGP V.V. Srinivasa Rao and senior officers attended the meeting to support implementation. The initiative aims to modernize crime investigation, law enforcement, and operational efficiency through AI-driven solutions, ensuring sustained progress regardless of personnel transfers. Officers were encouraged to engage with emerging AI systems, with young personnel specifically targeted for training and participation. The unified approach will centralize data layers for faster processing and decision-making, aligning with Anand’s vision for a tech-savvy police force. The six-month timeline underscores urgency, with each team member assigned clear responsibilities to drive the transformation.
