Peshawar: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police has imposed ban on the use of social media for its officers and personnel.

In this regard, the Central Police Office has issued a directive to Regional Police Officers (RPOs) and District Police Officers (DPOs), stating that police officers and personnel were prohibited from using social media applications.

This directive restricted all ranks of officers and personnel from using platforms such as TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and YouTube.

It also noted that many police personnel have been found violating SOPs, and RPOs and DPOs have been instructed to take departmental action against such violations.

The Central Police Office highlighted that social media use undermined the department’s reputation and posed risks to the safety of other police personnel.
