Lahore Police Enforces New Social Media Policy in Uniform

Lahore Police Enforce New Social Media Policy

The Lahore police have implemented a new social media directive aimed at curbing misuse of official authority, inappropriate online behavior, and use of uniforms for personal publicity.

All Station House Officers (SHOs), inspectors, sub-inspectors, and assistant sub-inspectors are instructed to review their Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok accounts and remove any objectionable or inappropriate content.

The policy explicitly bans police officials from posting photos or videos in uniform on their personal social media profiles, particularly in non-official or private settings.

Officials stated that the move is intended to maintain departmental discipline and prevent misuse of police identity and uniforms on digital platforms.

According to guidelines, images or videos featuring officers in uniform can only be shared through official police accounts. Any such content on personal profiles has been strictly prohibited.

Violations will result in strict departmental and disciplinary action against the concerned officers or personnel.
