Police Command & Control Centre Inauguration On Aug 4

Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao will inaugurate the prestigious Integrated Police Command and Control Centre at Banjara Hills in Hyderabad on August 4.

Hyderabad Police Commissioner C V Anand on Thursday issued a memo to the various departments involved in the project, asking them to complete the remaining works at the earliest.

"Since there are many works pending completion and there are several aspects to the arrangement of logistics, planning and execution of this historic function, duty charts and roles and responsibilities of the various officers of Hyderabad City Police have been discussed and delineated. It is requested to kindly execute the assigned tasks with all your commitment and zeal, so that the program is a grand success and raises the prestige of the Hyderabad City Police (sic)," Anand said in the memo.

According to officials, the Integrated Command and Control Centre (CCC), a first in the nation, will assist the police in connecting the operations of several units and function as a state-level multi-agency technological fusion centre.

It will also serve as a platform for crisis management, disaster management, and other significant emergency situations.

There will also be an emergency response management system to help people in distress.

The CCC will house a war room, and a centre of excellence for operations monitoring and increasing staff capacity.

The Centre will track a network of over 9.25 lakh cameras installed across the State and help the police with advanced monitoring.

The building also has a two-storey parking lot with a helipad on its roof.

Tower A, on the left side of the centre, will house the Hyderabad Police Commissioner's office as well as administrative divisions.

The state-level surveillance, which has access to every camera in Telangana, will be in Tower B on the right.

The She Teams, emergency response-related agencies, Hawk Eye assistance and the traffic command centre will also be housed in this tower.

Officials claim that the Telangana Police now use technology as one of their most important force-multipliers in their fight against crime.

They said that only Singapore and New York have facilities similar to this one, making it unique in the country.
