The Hyderabad Police Commissionerate is housed in Tower A of the building.
A state-of-the-art command and control centre termed "Police Towers" - a nerve centre for operations and disaster management - was inaugurated by Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao today.
"Truly world class, possibly one of the most sophisticated government facility built by any govt in India," Telangana's IT Minister KT Rama Rao posted on Twitter.
Telangana State Police Integrated Command and Control Centre (TSPICCC), the 83.5-metre tall building, features a 480-seat auditorium, a media centre, training facilities, and conference halls spread across 6.42 lakh square feet, including parking on 2.16 lakh square feet, solar panels, STP, and a glass facade, among other amenities.
The Hyderabad Police Commissionerate is housed in Tower A - a 20 storey building and Tower B is a Technology Fusion Centre, designed to gather data from various apps, emergency response systems, such as Dial 100, social media, and highways watch from all over the state so that there can be an integrated approach.
Tower C houses an auditorium and Tower D will have a media and training centre. There is a multi-agency integrated command control centre located on Tower E's fourth, fifth, and sixth floors.
The tower houses separate chambers for the state Home Minister, state police chief and other top officials. There is also a war room on the seventh floor from where the Chief Minister can oversee disaster relief or emergency operations.
Traffic control officers will continue to function from the police control room though the fifth floor of the Command Control Centre has been allotted for their functioning. That would house the e-challan division and technical teams.
As of now the Telangana State Police Integrated Command and Control Centre has been kept out of bounds even for the media though there are plans to open it eventually to the public as the Chief Minister expects it to become a landmark of the city.
The structure will also have a helipad, a landing area or platform for helicopters, and powered lift aircraft for emergency operations.
There is a separate space for artificial intelligence, data analytics, and social media units.
About 9.22 lakh cameras installed across the State will be connected to this centre, with the police to be able to monitor and check around one lakh cameras at any point in time.
A war room will be part of this building, which has been designed to house technology teams working in back-end operations to support field policing. It will also act as a Disaster and Crisis Management Centre housing all related government departments.
There is a separate space for artificial intelligence, data analytics, and social media units.
No wooden furniture is used in the centre. All the furniture has been designed out of recycled material. 35 per cent of the land has been allotted for plantation. The swanky new building also has a yoga center, gym, and wellness center.
The building also houses a museum showcasing the history of Telangana Police and a 360-degree viewing gallery.
The solar panels on the green building will generate 0.5 MegaWatts (MW) and recycled material has been used for construction.
