The Telangana DSP parade for the state’s second batch of probationary deputy superintendents of police was held at the RBVRR Telangana Police Academy on Monday, with 112 officers completing their initial training before families, senior officials and DGP C.V. Anand. The batch is the first recruited through the Telangana State Public Service Commission after the formation of the state.
Neha Agarwal led the passing-out parade and received four awards for her performance during training. She was presented the Chief Minister’s Revolver for best all-round performance, the Late Raja Bahadur Venkata Rama Reddy Gold Medal for best all-rounder, the Late Kona Ramachandra Reddy Memorial Gold Medal for performance in police sciences and the Home Minister’s Baton with silver ends for indoor subjects.
The 112 probationary officers include 74 men and 38 women. Their age profile comprises 15 officers aged between 22 and 25, 61 between 26 and 30, 27 between 31 and 35, and nine between 36 and 42. The batch includes one doctor, one dental professional, 31 postgraduates and 79 graduates. Two trainee officers were selected through the Union Public Service Commission in 2026.
L. Srikanth was named the best performer in outdoor subjects, while T. Jacob Abhishek was adjudged the best in firing. D. Chandana received the NICFS Medal for forensic science, Ch. Adi Seshu Reddy won the NICFS Medal for criminology and R. Sai Kiran Reddy received the Director’s Medal for best performance in investigation.
The officers completed 44 weeks of training covering law, investigation, professional skills, field experience, drill, parade and sports. They will now undergo a further 46 weeks of practical training at the district level, DGP Anand said.
Addressing the probationers, Anand urged them to remain loyal to the Constitution and serve people honestly, fearlessly and without prejudice. He said police personnel must protect lives and property, preserve the dignity of the uniform and lead their teams by example.
Anand identified drugs, cybercrime, organised crime, traffic congestion, road safety and food adulteration among the changing policing challenges facing the state. He referred to specialised initiatives including EAGLE for tackling drugs, the Cyber Security Bureau for cybercrime, TG FAST for food adulteration and TG-TMARS for traffic management and road safety.
He also asked the officers to strengthen their digital skills and understand emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence. Academy director Abhilasha Bisht urged the officers to discharge their duties with integrity and commitment. The officers’ next formal stage is the 46-week district-level practical training programme.
