Since the formation of Telangana, the police department has undergone a significant transformation at all levels. In a bid to render police services effectively, and to prevent & detect crime swiftly the Hyderabad City Police embraced technological advancements through numerous IT projects, apps, gadgets and CCTV projects.

To strategically plan, execute, and monitor these IT initiatives, officers ranging from PC rank to Inspector rank were tasked to start functioning as an informal IT cell in 2014. Despite their integral role, the IT cell operated without official sanction as a distinct unit within HCP. Over the years, the landscape evolved with the introduction of new applications and teams like TSCOP, TECDATUM,  E-office, Online licensing system, CCTNS, E-petty cases, Fitcop, Website & Multimedia teams, Data Analysis Unit etc., and numerous procurements, the three CCTV projects: Safe City, Smart City and Nenusaitham , IT dependency in all units, inter & intra department correspondence have each led to increased workload.

In response to the escalating demands and evolving responsibilities, the state Government took a pivotal step in 2023. Recognizing the critical role played by the IT cell in ensuring the seamless integration of technology in policing, a separate special wing was sanctioned and officially designated as the IT cell within the reorganized ((G.O.Ms 32) Hyderabad City Police Commissionerate. State Government sanctioned a total strength of 243 which includes 4 CIs, 14 SIs, 07 ASIs, 18 HCs, 200PCs.
