Telangana government on November 10 appointed Reddy, a 1986 batch IPS officer, as the in-charge DGP.
"As the police chief, my responsibility and my first duty is to fulfil the expectations of people in terms of continuing the best traditions of Telangana Police and improve them in terms of service delivery," Reddy told reporters here.
Since the formation of Telangana, the police in the state has taken long strides in terms of service delivery, technology improvements, process improvement and leadership practises, he said.
Reddy, who prior to taking over as the DGP, was Hyderabad Police Commissioner, said, "we would like to translate all the initiatives of Hyderabad City Police across all the police units in the state".
"We also would like ensure that all the police stations are transformed into citizen friendly units and responsive service delivery units," he added.
"We have a vision to ensure that common people and everybody must have free access to the police services, get good response and get justice for their grievances," he said.
Earlier, the outgoing DGP Anurag Sharma was accorded a farewell parade at the Telangana police Academy.
Hyderabad Police Additional Commissioner (Law and Order) V V Srinivasa Rao took over as the in-charge Hyderabad Police Commissioner.
