The Hyderabad City Police was reorganised after a gap of 35 years vide G.O.Ms.32, Home Legal Dept Dt.30.04.2023. The major highlights of that G.O. was the creation of 2 additional L&O Zones – South East + South West, 11 new L&O Divisions, 1 Additional Traffic Zone (Traffic 3), 11 more L&O police stations (total 71), 13 more Traffic Police Stations (Total 31), a Women Safety Wing with 7 Women Police Stations in 7 Zones, separate Cyber Crime Unit, IT Wing, Narcotics Wing. An extra strength of 1200 was sanctioned for these above changes.
Over the past 2 years, a few complaints have been received from the public regarding minor jurisdictional issues, inconvenience in travelling to their new police stations etc. Officers of the department have also given feedback about some issues, like confusion in Traffic and L&O police in some areas over jurisdictions, the need to strengthen Cyber Crime Wing more, weakening of cat.C L&O Police Stations etc.
In light of this, detailed consultations have been held with all stakeholders – public, public representatives, HCP officers of all ranks - and the following modifications in the G.O.Ms. 32, Home Legal Dept Dt.30.04.2023 were proposed to Govt., with only internal readjustment and reallotment of the entire HCP sanctioned strength of 17,020, without a single paisa financial burden to the Government. The TG Government has approved the proposed readjustments vide G.O.No.57, Home Legal Dept Dt. 24.04.2025. It is expected that these changes will stand the Hyderabad City Police in good stead for the next decade.
