The Andhra Pradesh Cabinet has sanctioned the establishment of four new police commissionerates across the state. The decision aims to strengthen the state's law‑enforcement infrastructure.
The Andhra Pradesh Cabinet, in its recent meeting, cleared the proposal to set up four new police commissionerates. The approval was granted after a review of the state's policing needs.
Officials said the new commissionerates will help improve administrative control over police forces and enable quicker response to law‑and‑order situations. The move is part of ongoing efforts to modernize the state's police setup.
The government will now issue the necessary notifications to operationalize the units. Once functional, each commissionerate will be headed by a police commissioner responsible for overseeing policing in its jurisdiction.
