Vijayawada:
Andhra Pradesh police
department is setting a benchmark in law enforcement by embracing technology,
community engagement
, and strategic interventions. In a remarkable shift towards a data-driven approach, the police successfully tackled various challenges, including
crime reduction
,
cyber fraud prevention
, and community outreach, positioning the state towards a safer and more progressive future.
Despite ongoing public agitations, the law and order situation in AP remained stable over the past nine months.
Data from the AP police department reveals that 70% of protests involved fewer than 100 participants, with only 4% surpassing 1,000 attendees. This stability is credited to proactive measures, including real-time monitoring and effective crowd management. The department also took a firm stance against Maoist activities, with coordinated operations leading to multiple arrests and surrenders, pushing extremist groups into survival mode.
A major highlight of the department's success is its use of advanced technology. Since June 2024, over 75,749 CCTV cameras were installed, and 9,565 drone patrols were conducted, significantly improving crime detection. Notably,
AI-powered surveillance
and digital forensic tools aided in solving over 21,500 cases in the last nine months. The deployment of drones played a crucial role in monitoring high-risk zones and enforcing public order, with over 1,902 cases detected using drone surveillance.

The impact of these technological advancements is evident in the 14% reduction in overall crime across the state compared to the previous year. The state also saw a significant drop in cybercrime incidents due to proactive digital awareness campaigns and swift response mechanisms. Community-driven initiatives played a crucial role in making policing more inclusive. Programs such as Mahila Meekosam, Drugs Vaddu Bro, and Prerna educated over 9.5 lakh citizens about women's safety, prevention of drugs, and employment opportunities for tribal youth.

NIA files chargesheet against five Maoist operatives in Chhattisgarh
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has chargesheeted five Maoist operatives in connection with the February 2024 Chhattisgarh arms recovery case, an official statement issued on Saturday said. The chargesheeted accused -- Anish Khan alias Annu Khan, Anil Kumar Netam, Jaysing Hidko, Raghvueer Jain and Shailendra Kumar Baghel alias Golu -- have been identified as Over Ground Workers (OGWs), including one supplier, for the banned terror organisation CPI (Maoist), it said. All of them were active cadres of the Kuyemari Area Committee of the terror outfit, said the statement issued by the NIA. The NIA in its supplementary charge sheet filed before the special court in Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh, has charged them under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, Explosives Substances Act and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, it said. The counter-terror agency had earlier in August 2024 chargesheeted two armed cadres -- Vinod Awalam and Ashu Korsa -- of the CPI (Maoist). The NIA investigations revealed that Anish Khan had supplied explosives substances to the CPI (Maoist) cadres in the forest area of Aalparas village which were later recovered. "The other accused chargesheeted today had provided shelter and logistics support to the Maoist cadres for carrying out a fatal attack on security forces around Mujalgondi village in Kanker district," the statement said. The investigations in the case are continuing as part of the NIA's efforts to scuttle the Maoist outfit's terror agenda, it added.
