UP New DGP Launches 10-Point Policing Plan with Focus on Tech and Crime Control
New Police Chief Targets Crime-Free UP with AI-Powered Law Enforcement and Citizen-Centric Reforms
Lucknow — In a bold move to reshape the policing landscape of Uttar Pradesh, the newly appointed Director General of Police (DGP) Sh. Rajeev Krishna unveiled a comprehensive 10-point policing roadmap focused on zero tolerance for crime, AI-enabled operations, and citizen-centric governance.
Describing his new role as a “significant responsibility,” the DGP expressed gratitude to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and pledged to elevate the state’s law enforcement to “unprecedented heights of excellence.”
Crime-Free Uttar Pradesh: A Core Objective
At the heart of the DGP’s roadmap is an uncompromising stance against crime, especially organized crime and crimes against women. The DGP assured that the force would adopt a proactive and firm approach, saying:
“There will be zero tolerance for criminals. We will act decisively to protect every citizen, particularly women and vulnerable communities.”
The renewed emphasis on women’s safety includes prevention strategies, rapid enforcement protocols, and community outreach to foster a greater sense of security.
The 10 Pillars of Reform: Key Highlights
The new roadmap outlines ten strategic focus areas designed to make UP Police more efficient, modern, and accountable:
- Zero Tolerance Toward Crime
Relentless crackdown on criminal networks and antisocial elements.
- Empowered Women’s Safety Cells
Special units and fast-track systems to prevent and respond to crimes against women.
- Technology-Led Policing
Integration of AI, predictive analytics, and data-driven policing to increase efficiency.
- Cybercrime Surveillance Expansion
Post-COVID cyber threats to be countered with dedicated units and upgraded tools.
- Responsive Public Grievance System
Citizen voices to be addressed empathetically and without bureaucratic delays.
- Enhanced Law and Order Mechanism
Swift legal action against elements threatening peace and public harmony.
- Smart Policing Infrastructure
Deployment of modern equipment, real-time monitoring tools, and AI-backed operations.
- Professional Skill Development
Officers with specialized capabilities will be assigned to high-priority units.
- Police Welfare Initiatives
Internal reforms to address stress, morale, and well-being of law enforcement personnel.
- Continuous Capacity Building
Regular in-service training programs to ensure a future-ready force.
Artificial Intelligence to Drive Efficiency
A major highlight of the roadmap is the integration of artificial intelligence to improve operational outcomes.
“AI will be a game changer. From crime mapping to resource optimization, we aim to make UP Police smarter and faster,” the DGP noted.
The force will also adopt predictive policing tools to identify high-risk zones, assess crime trends, and pre-empt criminal activities. These innovations are expected to significantly cut response times and improve public trust.
Citizen-Centric Governance and Accessibility
The roadmap places citizens at the center of policing priorities. From grievance redressal helplines to online complaint systems, the UP Police will focus on transparency and responsiveness.
The DGP emphasized:
“Every citizen’s concern will be treated with seriousness and urgency. This is essential for trust-building.”
Institutional and Technological Synergy
The roadmap envisions the parallel development of infrastructure and human capital. While modernisation will focus on digital tools, efforts will also be made to improve internal accountability and professional ethics.
The DGP concluded:
“Under the visionary leadership of the Hon’ble Chief Minister, we are poised to set new benchmarks in law enforcement. Our commitment is to serve with integrity, discipline, and innovation.”
