One notable initiative spearheaded by Sarvesh Raj IPS is the widespread deployment of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras equipped with face recognition technology. This proactive measure has led to a notable reduction in chain snatchings and thefts, as evidenced by the decreased crime rate during the recent Diwali season in T Nagar.

C. Aravindhan, a computer science graduate within the cadre, played a pivotal role in implementing the CCTV technology, emphasizing its role in optimizing police resources and enhancing operational efficiency.

Building on this success, IPS officer C. Kalaiselvan aims to extend CCTV surveillance to cover the entirety of the Madhavaram police district, underscoring the importance of technology in modern policing.

Beyond technological advancements, the young officers prioritize accessibility and community engagement. DCP Adyar Rohith Nathan emphasizes personal interactions with residents to foster a sense of safety and community in his jurisdiction.

Sarvesh Raj IPS, known for his meticulous planning and compassionate approach, has successfully resolved high-profile criminal cases, including the 2013 Mangadu murder case. His commitment to creating a safe environment is emblematic of the ethos driving the young IPS officers.

Collaboration and teamwork are central to the approach advocated by officers like Pravesh Kumar, who emphasizes SWOT analysis and dedicated teams to tackle complex criminal cases effectively.

Drawing upon his extensive experience in handling sensitive areas, IPS officer Sashank Sai navigates challenges in regions like Washermenpet and Kasimedu with adeptness and finesse, highlighting the importance of field experience in effective policing.

According to city police commissioner A K Viswanathan, recruiting young officers like Sarvesh Raj was a deliberate strategy aimed at revitalizing the force amidst evolving challenges. Their innovative problem-solving approaches, particularly through the integration of technology, serve as a blueprint for policing across the state.
