In a groundbreaking move to bolster public safety, the Gelephu Police Division of the Royal Bhutan Police has launched a suite of social media platforms designed to facilitate real-time crime reporting. The initiative, unveiled this morning, aims to foster a safer and more vigilant community in Gelephu.
Residents now have the opportunity to report suspicious activities, minor infractions, or serious crimes as they occur. The police have made the platforms accessible through popular messaging applications including Telegram, WhatsApp, and WeChat. Citizens can connect directly with the “Gelephu Police” account by dialing the dedicated phone number 17724058 or by scanning a QR code with their mobile devices.
Officials emphasized the importance of community participation, noting that every report—no matter how small—plays a crucial role in maintaining a peaceful and crime-free environment. “Each piece of information helps us build a more secure community,” a spokesperson explained. “Rest assured, all details shared will be treated with the highest level of confidentiality, protecting the identity of every informant.”
This forward-thinking approach by the Gelephu Police reflects a broader commitment to integrating technology and community engagement in modern law enforcement practices. By harnessing the power of social media, the police department hopes to empower residents, ensuring that valuable information reaches law enforcement swiftly and efficiently.
As the initiative takes off, community leaders and residents alike are encouraged to actively use these platforms and contribute to the collective effort in safeguarding their city. The Gelephu Police Division’s new digital outreach represents a significant step towards a more connected, responsive, and secure urban environment.
