Chandigarh Police Response Time tops India, setting a new national benchmark in emergency services during 2025. The city police now reach crime or incident locations in just 5.06 minutes on average.
Officials credited this achievement to an expanded PCR fleet, advanced GPS tracking, and a centralised control room. A faster dispatch system has also improved coordination across the city. The quick response has helped prevent crimes and strengthened public confidence in law enforcement.
During 2025, Chandigarh Police achieved major success in crime control and public safety. The force intensified anti-drug operations and adopted a zero-tolerance policy against narcotics. Police seized drug-related assets worth over ₹8.79 crore, disrupting several trafficking networks.
The department also strengthened its cyber crime units. Specialised teams handled online fraud and digital scams with speed and technical expertise. Victims received quicker relief due to timely investigations.
Chandigarh became the first Union Territory to fully implement new criminal laws from July 1, 2024. Under these laws, police registered 5,156 FIRs and filed 4,503 charge sheets. Courts recorded an impressive 89 percent conviction rate.
The average case disposal time dropped from 300 days to 110 days. These achievements highlight modern, technology-driven, and citizen-focused policing.
