Siddaramaiah also announced increasing the medical allowance for police from Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500 per month.
Highlighting the measures taken to improve policing in the city, he said, "There will be eight additional DCPs in Bengaluru just as there are additional SPs in districts."
The Chief Minister further said instructions have been given to make Karnataka a drug free state. In this connection, he said the police seized Rs 27 crore worth drugs this year. Similarly, directions were given to curb cyber crime.
Emphasising on improvement of law and order in the state, Siddaramaiah said a good law and order attracts good investments, which eventually boosts employment and economy.
Along with that, he laid stress on providing security to the weaker section of the society including women, SC/ST, children and home alone people.
The Chief Minister said he has directed the police department to improve the conviction rate in the state.
"Crime decreases with the rise in conviction rate. Our conviction rate should be above the national average. If there is delay in filing charge sheet after the investigation, conviction rate comes down."
"In the cases pertaining to atrocities on women, SC/ST, and children, the charge sheet should be filed within 60 days before the court," he added.
In view of impending Lok Sabha elections, the Chief Minister asked police officers to identify and monitor rowdies and habitual offenders.
To a question on growing moral policing, the Chief Minister said, "So far as moral policing is concerned, our government will not allow anybody to take law into their hands. We will not tolerate, we will punish them in accordance with the law."

Manipur: Autopsy reports reveal multiple bullet wounds, lacerations on bodies of 3 killed in Jiribam
Imphal, Nov 24: The autopsy reports of three of the six persons killed in Manipur's Jiribam district by suspected Kuki militants revealed multiple bullet injuries and lacerations on various parts of their bodies, officials said on Sunday.
The report of three-year-old Chingkheinganba Singh showed that his right eye was missing and he had a bullet wound in the skull, they said.
The report also noted cut wounds, fractures in the chest, and lacerations on the forearm and other parts of his body. Signed on November 17, the report indicated that the child's body was in a "state of decomposition", they added.
The report said the cause of death would be pending until the receipt of the chemical analysis report of viscera from the Directorate of Forensic Sciences in Guwahati, officials said.
The post-mortem examinations were conducted at the Silchar Medical College Hospital (SMCH) in Assam's Cachar district.
The report also detailed the injuries sustained by his mother, L Heitonbi Devi (25), who had "three bullet wounds in the chest and one in the buttock", officials said.
According to the report, her body was brought to SMCH on November 18, around seven days after her death, they said.
The child's grandmother, Y Rani Devi (60), suffered five bullet wounds -- one in the skull, two in the chest, one in the abdomen, and one in an arm, officials said.
Her body was brought to SMCH on November 17, at least three to five days after her death, the report noted.
The autopsy reports also showed deep lacerations on many parts of the bodies of the two women.
The cause of Rani Devi's death is also yet to be known, awaiting the chemical analysis report of the viscera, officials said.
The post-mortem reports of one more woman and two children are still pending, they said.
The six persons belonging to the Meitei community had gone missing from a relief camp in Jiribam after a gunfight between security forces and suspected Kuki-Zo militants that resulted in the deaths of 10 insurgents on November 11.
Their bodies were found in the Jiri river in Jiribam district, and the nearby Barak river in Assam's Cachar over the next few days.
