Hyderabad City Police is the locallaw enforcement agency for thecity ofHyderabad,Telangana and is headed by theCommissioner of Police. The city police traces its origins to1847 underHyderabad State.[3]
TheNizam of Hyderabad used to appoint the commissioners of police who were officers of theHyderabad Civil Service and they used to function during his pleasure. They were answerable to the Nizam directly on various matters of policing in Hyderabad city. However, as far as administrative matters were concerned the commissioner of police used to correspond with the Home Department directly. The commissioner of police was popularly called "Kotwal" and was responsible for the maintenance of the law and order, prevention and detection of crime, etc.[3]
Due to rapid increase in population, there has been a steady increase in crime. In view of the above in 1981 the city police was re-organised, vide G.O.Ms.No.341, Home Department, dated: 1981-05-30. The following structure was instituted:
