Cyberabad police consider arming first responders after recent shootings
Cyberabad police are considering arming first responders following two recent shooting incidents. Currently, patrolling teams are unarmed, which raises concerns about their safety and ability to apprehend armed suspects. A recent incident involved a burglar firing at police during an arrest attempt. Discussions are underway to equip patrolling officers with at least short weapons to enhance their safety and effectiveness. The police have previously deployed interceptor vehicles with armed officers for emergencies. The decision on arming first responders will be further discussed in the coming days.
