Islamabad Police officers and personnel will need prior permission for media statements and online sharing of departmental activities under the new policy.

Islamabad Police have introduced a strict new social media policy for officers and personnel of all ranks, placing restrictions on personal publicity, political and religious expression, and the sharing of official or confidential information online.

Under the new policy, police officials are prohibited from making videos or taking photographs in uniform for personal publicity. The restrictions are aimed at regulating the use of social media by personnel while maintaining professional standards and protecting departmental information.

The policy also bars officers and personnel from sharing official or confidential documents on social media platforms. In addition, police officials have been prohibited from expressing their personal political or religious views through social media.

Officials will also require prior permission before making statements to the media, speaking at public forums or sharing departmental activities online.

The new rules apply to police officers and personnel across all ranks, reinforcing the requirement that public communication involving the department be handled through authorized channels.

Violations of the social media policy may lead to departmental action against the officials concerned.
