City Police has rich legacy: Greater Chennai City Police Commissioner A. Arun
'Our city boasts a proud and storied legacy of law enforcement, with roots stretching back over a century and a half. A defining moment came in 1856, marking a significant chapter in the history of the Madras Town Police. The year 1856 was a landmark in the annals of the Madras Town Police, when Act XIII of 1856, that is an Act regulating the Police of the Towns of Calcutta, Madras and Bombay and the several stations of the settlement of Prince of Wales Island, Singapore and Malaysia was enacted by the Governor – General of India. By this Act, the head of the Town Police was designed as the Commissioner of Police. The new force was organised very much on the model of the Metropolitan Police of London (U.K.) which came into existence in the year 1829 after enactment of the Metropolitan Police Act, Home Secretary Lt. Col. J.C. Boulderson, 35th Regiment Native Infantry took charge as Commissioner of Police, on April 25,1856 from E.F. Elliott, Chief Magistrate and Superintendent of Police, Madras, who commanded the Madras Town Police for nearly two decades. Over the decades, Chennai has witnessed remarkable growth—in its size, population, and complexity. In response, our police administration has evolved significantly, culminating in the formation of the Greater Chennai City Police. Having served this city in various capacities, I've seen firsthand how its residents have grown more law-abiding, peace-loving, and respectful of the rule of law. Their trust and cooperation have been instrumental in shaping a safer urban environment. Today, the Chennai City Police remains steadfast in its mission: to enforce the law with fairness and integrity, prevent crime, bring offenders to justice, and maintain peace through active collaboration with the community. Our commitment is rooted in the safety and security of every citizen. As the 110th Commissioner of Police, I am deeply honored to serve this vibrant and resilient city. Thanks to the tireless efforts of our officers and the unwavering support of the public, Chennai stands proudly among the safest cities in India.' (As told to R. Sivaraman)

The details that led to her death remain unknown but are being investigated by the Suffolk County Medical Examiner's Office. While it's unclear exactly how the 33-year-old died, a boater at the scene described the ship in which she was found, named Ripple, as in fact a 'party boat'. The witness told the Daily Mail that she heard screams when the designer's body was found. In a TikTok post on July 1, she shared a video of her bikinis and beach wear captioned 'goals achieved', encouraging her followers to attend the store. Residents of the wealthy area were left reeling with questions about what exactly took place the night that the young woman died.

Nolan-O'Slatarra was an Irish designer living in New York who, weeks before her death, hosted the grand opening of her brand's popup shop at Gurney's. The boater shared: "We come here every summer, and nothing like this ever happens. The police have been here all day since four in the morning."

The club's impressive location offers luxurious accommodation, spa facilities, a pool, a beach, harbour cruises, biking and yoga.
