A 1995-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, Mr. Vinoy Kumar Choubey, has become the first Commissioner of Police (CP) of the Pimpri Chinchwad Police Commissionerate (PCPC) to complete a full two-year tenure. Since the commissionerate’s inception in August 2018, Officer Choubey has been the fifth CP and the first to achieve this milestone.

Before Mr. Choubey’s appointment, previous Commissioners served shorter terms, including (all IPS officers), Mr. R.K. Padmanabhan (13 months), Mr. Sandeep Bishnoi (11 months), Mr. Krishna Prakash (19 months), and Mr. Ankush Shinde (7 months). Officer Choubey assumed charge after serving as Additional Director General (ADG) at the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).

During his tenure, Choubey addressed key logistical and infrastructural challenges by coordinating with the Maharashtra Home Ministry. Notable achievements include establishing a new cyber police station, which has been operational for several months, to tackle rising cybercrime. Additionally, four new police stations—Kalewadi, Bavdhan, Sant Tukaram Nagar, and Dapodi—were inaugurated, strengthening local policing.

Mr. Choubey secured significant resources, including crores of rupees from the Pune District Planning Committee for vehicles and essential equipment. Land acquisitions—15 acres in Kalewadi Phata and 9 acres in Moshi—were approved for police infrastructure, including India’s first ultra-modern police commissionerate building.

Manpower enhancements included approvals for 1 Additional CP, 2 Deputy Commissioners, and 4 Assistant Commissioners. Specialized units like the Anti-Narcotics Cell and Dog Squad were introduced, and the police fleet was expanded.

Officer Choubey’s initiatives emphasized personnel welfare and public engagement. He introduced birthday holidays for police personnel, the ‘Morya Award’ for Ganesh Mandals, health camps, and job fairs. Public safety measures were bolstered with Dial 112, enhanced patrolling, and 5,000 CCTV cameras.

Under his leadership, key operations led to the cancellation of 62 illegal passports, the seizure of 394 pistols and 1,603 weapons, and the application of MCOCA against 95 offenders. Goods worth Rs. 4.15 crore were returned to rightful owners, reflecting his commitment to efficient policing and public service.
