Addressing officers, Sajjanar announced that Hyderabad City Police would be implementing a new initiative called People Welfare Policing, designed to strengthen community trust and enhance public safety.
He explained that the initiative would focus on multiple aspects — maintaining peace and order, improving road and traffic safety, ensuring protection of women and children, using Artificial Intelligence in policing, tackling cyber and financial crimes, and offering 24/7 citizen services. He further highlighted that the welfare of police personnel remains a top priority.
“Building public trust in the police force is our foremost responsibility,” the Commissioner said. “Every officer must perform their duties with commitment and discipline. Those who excel will be recognised and rewarded, while any misconduct will invite strict disciplinary action.”
