What the proposal saysSeemant Kumar Singh, Commissioner, Bengaluru police, sent the draft proposal, dated August 1, to M A Saleem, Director General and Inspector General of Police. Under the proposal, the existing Bengaluru police commissioner would be redesignated as the chief commissioner of police, a post equivalent in rank to a DGP. Presently, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Kolkata have more police commissionerates but do not have a chief city police commissioner’s post, as proposed for Bengaluru. Meanwhile, retired DGP D V Guruprasad said there was no need for multiple commissionerates in Bengaluru. Similarly, we can have two commissionerates – Central Bengaluru and Outer Bengaluru,” Guruprasad said.
