What Is Special Branch?

The Special Branch (SB) is the intelligence wing of the Pimpri-Chinchwad Police, responsible for gathering, analysing and verifying information related to law and order, public safety and national security. Unlike the Crime Branch, which investigates offences after they occur, the Special Branch focuses on preventing incidents through advance intelligence.

Its duties include monitoring protests, communal tensions, political activities and security threats, assessing confidential information, assisting with security planning for VIP visits, festivals and elections, and conducting verification work such as passport and tenant checks. It serves as the commissionerate's "eyes and ears", providing timely intelligence to help police prevent potential law and order issues.
