The Uttar Pradesh Police headquarters has reinforced its Social Media Policy-2023, emphasizing a zero-tolerance stance on objectionable online content posted by personnel. In a directive issued on Friday, Amitabh Yash, the additional director general (law and order), highlighted that repeated violations have negatively impacted the credibility and public image of the police force. The directive mandates that all department heads and police unit leaders identify violators and initiate immediate departmental action. Monthly reports detailing violations must be submitted, including the violator's identity, PNO number, and nature of the post. This measure is a response to growing concerns over police personnel using social media platforms to share inappropriate content, often while in uniform or during duty hours. The directive calls for the preservation of digital evidence, such as screenshots and links, to support departmental inquiries. Senior officers are tasked with ensuring compliance and monitoring social media activity to uphold the discipline and professionalism expected from the UP Police.
