Imagine Delhi's police have special guards who keep important people safe.
They've gotten a bunch of cool new gadgets, like machines that can sniff out dangerous liquids, night vision goggles, and a shooting practice game.
This helps them protect VIPs, like government officials and visiting leaders, and keep important places secure.
They spend a lot of money each year on this, and they are constantly reviewing who needs protection.
They also have a new headquarters to help with their jobs.
