Building Public Confidence Through Social Media Engagement

• The Delhi Police excel in operating their Twitter account, attracting 5-6 million followers. When a citizen posts
a query or requests assistance, the response time from the police is under five minutes. Beyond just a digital
reply, within this timeframe, if the individual is within the Delhi Police's area of authority, a beat marshal or a
physical officer is dispatched to their location.

 How is the force accepting this change?

o The acceptance of new technologies by the force is positive and progressive. Following the
parliament attacks, the Delhi Police recognized the critical importance of swift and effective
emergency responses. This acknowledgment has led to the widespread adoption of systems that
facilitate seamless communication across various platforms and on dual frequencies. In 2022
alone, over 650 police officers were proficiently trained in utilizing these advanced systems.
Moreover, the force is actively encouraged to employ digital tools and has embraced the shift
towards paperless and online administrative processes, a move further accelerated by the
pandemic's challenges.
 Transformation During Covid
During the Covid pandemic, significant transformations were implemented to adapt to the new challenges:

Digitalization of Internal Processes: The shift to paperless operations for HR and administrative tasks,
including leave requests and budget management, was swiftly enacted, enhancing efficiency and
coordination.

Remote Recording of Statements: Utilizing Zoom and WhatsApp for statement recording became
commonplace. In certain situations, questionnaires were emailed, with respondents instructed to record
their answers, serving as their official statements.

Use of Thermal Cameras and Drones: Thermal imaging cameras were deployed at strategic locations for
fever detection. Drones were utilized for aerial surveillance to ensure compliance with health protocols.

Enhanced Remote Monitoring: CCTV systems, coupled with video analytics technology, were used to
oversee containment zones from a distance, facilitating efficient management and control of these areas.

 • Technological Awareness Deficit: An observed gap in
understanding the latest technologies among police
personnel.

• Insufficient and Outdated Training Resources: The absence

of training materials and modules that adapt to and align with
cutting-edge technologies.

Human Resources • Disruption Due to Staff Reassignment: The transfer of trained

professionals to other departments or projects interrupts the
consistent application of digital transformation strategies.

• Inadequate Infrastructure and Compensation: Limited

facilities and low pay contribute to the attrition of trained and
experienced officers, who leave for better opportunities in the
private sector.

• Challenges in Scalability and Deployment: The difficulty in

scaling digital initiatives, exacerbated by the reluctance of
skilled professionals and experts to work in remote or less
accessible locations.
 • Evolving Criminal Technologies Demand Flexible
