The Sachin Waze episode that led to Mumbai getting a new police commissioner and raised questions about security on the city’s streets has forced the department to overhaul its night patrol practice. An officer of the rank of additional commissioner will now be a part of the patrolling machinery.

Under the existing practice, two DCP rank officers are put on night patrolling, with one managing the South and Central regions and the other handling the West, North and East. Each region will now have a DCP on the night duty.
