Patna: Bihar Police has reached a major milestone by amassing 1 million followers on Facebook, making it the second most-followed police department in India after Kerala Police. This achievement highlights the growing trust and engagement between the public and Bihar Police. Across all social media platforms, Bihar Police now has over 1.7 million followers, securing the fourth position nationwide, following Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, and Maharashtra Police.
Bihar Police’s increasing social media influence is a result of direct engagement with the public and its proactive approach to law enforcement. The Social Media Center at the Bihar Police Headquarters operates 24/7, closely monitoring suspicious accounts, fake news, inflammatory content, illegal activities, and cyber threats. Any misleading or provocative posts are promptly reported to the relevant authorities for necessary action.
Due to these efforts, public confidence in Bihar Police has strengthened, making it the most-followed government department in Bihar, surpassing other state agencies. Last year, even Rajasthan Police visited Bihar Police’s Social Media Center to learn how social media can enhance policing and public outreach.
With the rise in cyber fraud cases, Bihar Police has been actively educating citizens on how to protect themselves. Fraudsters often use tactics like “digital arrest” scams and fake investment schemes to deceive people. To counter this, Bihar Police regularly shares awareness campaigns, videos, and informative posts, warning people against falling victim to such scams.
One of the key messages Bihar Police emphasizes is that no police officer or government official will ever call and demand money or threaten legal action over the phone. They urge citizens to stay alert, inform their families, and report any suspicious calls or online scams.
This milestone not only reflects Bihar Police’s success in community engagement but also showcases the growing impact of social media in modern policing. By leveraging digital platforms effectively, Bihar Police continues to build a safer and more informed society.
