Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has publicly advocated for a shift towards technology‑enabled policing as a strategy to reduce criminal activity in the state. In his statement, Naidu emphasized that modern tools such as surveillance cameras, data analytics and digital reporting can enhance law‑enforcement efficiency and deterrence.
The chief minister highlighted that leveraging technology would allow police to respond faster, identify patterns of crime, and allocate resources more effectively. He urged the state police department to accelerate the rollout of such systems and to train personnel in their use.
