The Director General of Police (DGP) is the top-most officer in the Telangana Police hierarchy, serving as the head of the state’s law enforcement. The DGP oversees all policing activities across Telangana’s 33 districts, ensuring law and order, public safety, and effective crime prevention. This role demands exceptional leadership to manage the operational efficiency of the police force while formulating strategies to address statewide security challenges.
In Telangana, the DGP collaborates with senior officers such as Additional Directors General of Police (ADGPs) and Inspectors General (IGs) to ensure a streamlined approach to law enforcement.

For instance, during natural disasters or major public disturbances, the DGP directs and coordinates efforts across the state to maintain order.
With a focus on modernization, the DGP ensures the Telangana Police adopt advanced technologies like surveillance systems, cybercrime investigation tools, and smart policing methods. Their role also extends to fostering public trust through transparency and community-based initiatives. By setting strategic priorities, the DGP significantly contributes to Telangana’s peace and security.
