History
1847-1948
The Nizam of Hyderabad used to appoint
the Commissioners of Police who were
officers of the Hyderabad 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 as “Kotwal” and was
responsible for the maintenance of law
and order, prevention and detection of
crime, etc.[2]
Reorganization

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 (Pol.D) Department, dated: 1981-05-
30. The following structure was instituted:

The disciplinary and administrative

control of the force is held by the
Commissioner of Police, having powers
and functions of Additional District
Magistrate.
The city was divided into 5 zones :
Hyderabad South, Hyderabad East,
Hyderabad west, Hyderabad central &
Hyderabad North, the 4 zones were
again divided into 12 divisions. Each
Zone is under the in charge of a Deputy
Commissioner of Police (D.C.P.) of the
rank of Superintendent Of Police for
maintenance of Law and Order, Criminal
Investigation and keeping up the morale
of the force.
Each Division is under the care of an
Assistant Commissioner of Police(ACP)
of the rank of Deputy Superintendent Of
Police, who works under the control of
DCP. He is responsible for prevention
and detection of crimes, maintenance of
L&O and discipline of the force.
Each Police station is under the care of
Inspector of Police who is the Station
House Officer(S.H.O) and performs all
the duties and exercises all the powers
of the S.H.O.
The city crimes station was renamed as
“Detective Department” which works
under the D.C.P.,assisted by ACPs and
Inspectors.
In 1992, the Government of Andhra
Pradesh sanctioned 3 Joint
Commissioner of Police posts in the
rank of Deputy Inspector General (D.I.G.)
to assist the Commissioner of Police for
effective functioning and better
 administration of City Police each in-
charge of Co-ordination, Crimes and
Security.
One Sub-Inspector of Police was to be
placed in charge of Law and Order
duties and another for Crime duties for
each Police Station. A Divisional
Detective inspector for each Division
was provided for. In order to achieve this
functional division it was proposed in
the scheme to increases the number of
posts of Sub-Inspectors and Head
Constables and decrease the number of
posts of Police Constables.
