The State Government has alloted land at Goregaon in western suburbs to the Force for training and easy access in emergency situation, she said. The Home Department has also focused on upgradation of police force, coastal security, strengthening Intelligence and participation of local people in security.

Police Department has been provided with new weapons, vehicles and technologies, which would make them alert in case of any emergency situation, Iyengar said. "Police personnel have been trained in such a way that they respond to any situation," she said.

The information would first go to the local police station and then a Quick Response Team (QRT) would deal with the situation and later, Force One would take charge.
