All 60 Hyderabad Police Stations are now of Facebook

However, the DGP pointed out that denizens would not be able to lodge official complaints. “Following the prime minister’s vision for smart policing, we have been able to launch it. In the initial stage, we have restricted the page to interactive purpose,” the DGP told newsmen.

All 60 police stations in the city will now



have a facebook page. Police personnel in each police station have been trained to handle their facebook pages. The decision, he said, was taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the all India DGPs’ conference last month in Guwahati, he said.

The DGP said such a social media tool would help in terms of preventing crime, detecting crime, maintenance of law and order, surveillance over crime and criminals, citizen grievance redressal, emergency response management, collection of intelligence, community policing and prosecution of criminals etc.

One need to either visit www.hyderabadpolice.gov.in or www.facebook.com/hyderabadpolice under which the specific link for each police station would be available.

Police commissioner  M Mahender Reddy and other senior officials were present at the press meet.
