They also apprised the DGP about the security scenario in Jammu zone, the spokesman said.
Earlier, Singh inspected the command vehicles at the police headquarters before dedicating these to the force.
“The command vehicles are equipped with all modern gadgets which would be extremely useful during different anti- insurgency operations. The safety of our officers and jawans is our top priority and providing additional secure mobility and safety gears would surely increase the efficiency and capabilities of our dedicated force, working on the anti-terror front,” the DGP said.
