The Haryana Police has drawn up an expanded crime and security strategy for 2026 with a sharper focus on violent offenders, narcotics, cybercrime, terror-linked activities and emerging geopolitical risks, following a high-level review meeting at the Haryana Police Academy in Karnal on Sunday.
Chaired by the Director General of Police O.P. Singh, the meeting reviewed key trends from 2025 and firmed up an action plan built around last-mile domination, stronger police station functioning and closer supervision of major crime and security cases.
The DGP directed the Special Task Force (STF) to maintain a live watchlist of 100 violent offenders across the State, while each district has been asked to keep at least 20 such high-risk offenders under continuous surveillance and preventive action. The move is aimed at pre-empting contract killings, extortion rackets and gang violence by disrupting planning and logistics at an early stage.
On narcotics, the DGP underlined that focus would remain on “commercial quantity” cases with an explicit push to improve conviction rates and expand attachment of drug proceeds. He said that financial action against traffickers and kingpins was essential to dismantle organised drug networks, along with sustained work against local peddlers.
