Bihar Police Beats Delhi-Mumbai in Creativity, Ranks 2nd with 1M Facebook Followers!

Patna : When you hear the word “police,” you probably picture officers investigating crime scenes or controlling traffic on the streets. However, times have changed. The police force, once feared, is now being widely appreciated for its efforts. Whether in police stations or on social media, law enforcement has become more public-friendly and proactive.

Bihar Police is a prime example of this transformation. Not only is it active 24/7 in maintaining law and order, but it is also leveraging social media to spread awareness among the public. Thanks to this engagement and trust, Bihar Police recently crossed 1 million followers on Facebook. With this achievement, the total follower count across various social media platforms has exceeded 1.7 million.

Strengthening Law and Order Under New Leadership

Since the appointment of the new Director General of Police (DGP), Vinay Kumar, Bihar Police has witnessed remarkable improvements in law and order. The DGP personally conducts nighttime inspections of police stations to ensure smooth functioning. His strict directive mandates that every citizen’s complaint must be addressed promptly. As a result of these efforts, police presence on the streets has increased significantly, even during nighttime. The Dial 112 emergency response team, which previously reached incident locations within 20 minutes, now does so in less than 15 minutes. The duo of DGP Vinay Kumar and Additional Director General (ADG) Headquarters Kundan Krishnan has been making a strong impact. The DGP also holds public grievance meetings daily at police headquarters, ensuring swift action on complaints.

Social Media Creativity Elevates Bihar Police’s Popularity

Bihar Police has been making waves with its creative social media presence. Engaging posts and videos have led to widespread discussions, with people actively sharing and retweeting their content. This increased public engagement has propelled Bihar Police’s social media growth at an impressive pace. Over the past year, Bihar Police has made significant strides on digital platforms, continuously educating people about cyber fraud and other security issues. The trust built among citizens has resulted in 1 million followers on Facebook, making it the second-most-followed state police department in India—surpassed only by Kerala Police. When considering total followers across all social media platforms, Bihar Police ranks fourth, behind Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, and Maharashtra Police. On this achievement, Senior Journalist Sanjeet Mishra, who oversees Bihar Police’s media PR, stated that the team at the Social Media Center in police headquarters is working tirelessly around the clock. As a result, public trust in Bihar Police is steadily increasing. Through its creativity, Bihar Police is continuously securing a place in people’s hearts.

24/7 Monitoring and Cyber Vigilance

A key reason behind Bihar Police’s rising popularity is its direct engagement with the public. The Social Media Center at the police headquarters operates around the clock, monitoring suspicious accounts and identifying those spreading rumors, misinformation, or engaging in illegal activities online. The department ensures that such cases are immediately reported to the relevant authorities for timely action. This proactive approach has strengthened public confidence in Bihar Police. Notably, last year, Rajasthan Police visited Bihar to study its social media strategies and explore ways to enhance their own policing efforts digitally.

Cyber Fraud Awareness and Public Education

Cyber fraudsters often exploit people through scams like “digital arrest” or fraudulent investment schemes. Bihar Police consistently educates citizens on these threats through frequent awareness posts, benefiting millions.

By using simple photos and videos, Bihar Police warns people that neither police officers nor any government officials demand money or issue threats over the phone. Increased public awareness is the most effective defense against such frauds. The department continuously advises people to stay vigilant and not fall for scam calls claiming “digital arrests,” as no such legal procedure exists. Bihar Police’s social media efforts have not only enhanced public awareness but have also positioned it as one of the most trusted government institutions in the state. With growing follower numbers and a commitment to public safety, Bihar Police is setting an example for law enforcement agencies nationwide.
