The police's spanking new coastal security headquarters being constructed on Mahim beach, will soon help the force keep a watch on suspicious movements in the sea. The building will house the offices of the Special Inspector General of Police (coastal security) of Maharashtra police and Mumbai police DCP (port zone). The State Intelligence Department (SID) will also have an office in it.

Mumbai police commissioner Sanjay Barve said the building will be the headquarters of the Marine police and cover the coastline of the city. "It is a ground-plus-two-storey building with a watchtower for scrutiny of the sea. The building will also have a special room for women in the force," a senior police officer said.
