The first ground of the not too long ago inaugurated swanky police building situated in DLF five on Golf Course Road at the back of the Two Horizon Centre, which also homes the office of ACP (DLF) and an ACP (crime), will likely be used as the cyber police station. As of now, the cyber police station is in transition, getting shifted from the police commissioner’s office to its new location.
The ultimate hurdle earlier than the long-delayed cyber police station — govt approval — arrived not too long ago, in conjunction with acclaim for the women’s police station, a police spokesperson mentioned. City police are these days taking a couple of vital choices, including allocation of group of workers for the brand new police station, earlier than it may be inaugurated.
