The Andhra Pradesh Police's commitment to sporting excellence is not newfound. Over the years, the department has actively promoted a culture of physical fitness and competitive sports among its ranks, recognising the benefits it brings. Regular training sessions, workshops, and participation in national and international events have become a staple in the department's calendar.
'Our personnel are encouraged to excel not just in their official duties but also in sports, as it develops a well-rounded character and resilience,' added Gupta. This holistic approach to policing has evidently paid off, as evidenced by the latest medal haul.
