In-house developed system aims to speed up investigations, analyse criminal networks and strengthen preventive policing
- Hyderabad City Police has launched ‘Dooradrishti’ an Artificial Intelligence AI-powered crime intelligence and investigation support platform developed in-house by the department. The platform was inaugurated by Hyderabad City Police Commissioner V.C. Sajjanar, IPS, on November 12, 2026, at the Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) in Hyderabad.
- As its name suggests, Dooradrishti, meaning “Far Sight” is designed to provide investigating officers with a comprehensive picture of accused persons, their activities and possible criminal networks.
- According to Hyderabad City Police, officers previously had to spend several days manually collecting and cross checking information from multiple records and databases. The new platform brings relevant information together in a single system, significantly reducing the time and effort required for this process.
- The platform is expected to help investigators focus more on fieldwork, evidence collection and the timely filing of charge sheets. By integrating information through a common platform, it aims to improve the speed and quality of criminal investigations.
Focus on Intelligence-Led and Preventive Policing
- Dooradrishti is intended to strengthen technology driven, intelligence-led and preventive policing. Through Artificial Intelligence, digital technologies and interdepartmental data integration, Hyderabad City Police aims to identify potential threats, analyse criminal activities and disrupt organised criminal networks.
- The initiative is also expected to support efforts to prevent potential offences and protect citizens from individuals involved in criminal activities.
- The platform represents a shift from reactive policing towards proactive policing by helping officers connect intelligence, identify possible threats and take timely action to maintain public peace, safety and security across Hyderabad.
- Speaking at the launch, Commissioner V.C. Sajjanar said, “Dooradrishti is a significant step in technology driven policing. Built by our own officers, it puts years of police data to work for faster investigations and quicker justice for victims.”
- The initiative highlights Hyderabad City Police’s efforts to use modern technology and in-house innovation to strengthen crime prevention and improve policing services.
