The Andhra Pradesh state government on 19 September 2012 decided to
set up 15 marine police stations along its coastline in addition to the
existing six ones. The decision was taken in a bid to beef up security
along the 974 km long coastline of the state.
The government also decided to appoint special police officers(SPOs) in coastal villages. Police sources said marine police will conduct patrolling in the deep sea within their jurisdiction in coordination with the Coast Guard, but SPOs will play a major role and keep a constant watch on the coastline activities in their villages.
