Imagine walking into your local police station with a complaint, expecting to meet the inspector in charge. But instead, you find the state's top police official, the Director General of Police (DGP), personally overseeing the resolution of your case. Surprising, right? Yet, this is not a hypothetical scenario—this is the new reality in Punjab.

DGP Gaurav Yadav is in action mode, personally visiting police stations across the state, inspecting, and directly engaging with the public to ensure safety. His ground-level presence is creating waves of change, both in Punjab's law enforcement culture and in the trust and confidence the people have in the police.

A Hands-On Approach to Crime Control

Under DGP Yadav’s leadership, Punjab has witnessed a significant reduction in organized crime. His direct involvement in monitoring law and order at the grassroots level has set a new benchmark in police functioning. Instead of merely directing from police headquarters, DGP Yadav is conducting surprise inspections at police stations, meticulously reviewing operations, and interacting with officers at every level—from constables to senior officers.

This approach has not only strengthened the police force but has also improved the overall efficiency of law enforcement in the state.

Winning Hearts, Restoring Trust

During his visits, DGP Yadav emphasizes the importance of positive policing. He engages in meaningful conversations with police officers, listening to their challenges and guiding them toward better practices. What sets him apart is his personal touch—he doesn’t just stop at interacting with police personnel; he also takes time to speak with victims and even detainees in the stations.

In addition, he holds one-on-one dialogues with citizens, listening to their grievances and directing officers to resolve issues on the spot. This direct engagement is helping to restore faith in the police, ensuring that they are seen as protectors rather than a source of fear.

Upgrading Police Infrastructure

The Punjab government is making significant strides in revamping police infrastructure across the state, with improvements ranging from police lines to station facilities. DGP Yadav is personally inspecting these changes, ensuring that barracks and other facilities are up to the mark.

By actively participating in this process, he is not only giving valuable feedback but also inspiring the force to work in a more efficient and people-friendly manner. His visits to the barracks and interactions with constables and guards send a strong message of solidarity and support, which is essential in creating a motivated workforce.

The Future of Policing: Hi-Tech Stations to Combat Cybercrime

As crime evolves, so must the police force. Cybercrime has emerged as one of the most dangerous threats in the modern world, and Punjab is stepping up its game to tackle this menace. Police officers are being trained in cybercrime prevention, and the state is setting up high-tech police stations dedicated to fighting online fraud, financial scams, hacking, and other cybercrimes.

Recently, DGP Yadav inaugurated a state-of-the-art Cybercrime Police Station in Sangrur, equipped with cutting-edge technology. This station is just the beginning, with more such facilities planned to ensure Punjab is at the forefront of fighting digital crime.

Empowering Citizens with Helplines

In an effort to raise awareness and protect citizens from cyber threats, the Punjab Police has launched a chatbot named ‘Cyber Mitra,’ designed to provide quick answers to cybercrime-related queries. Furthermore, DGP Yadav has reinforced the state's cyber helpline, 1930, by inaugurating a high-tech call center to address cybercrime complaints swiftly and effectively.

Swift Action: Freezing Rs. 57 Crores in Fraudulent Accounts

The efforts are already paying off. The Punjab Cyber Crime Cell received 26,625 complaints through the cyber helpline and online portals. Acting swiftly, they managed to freeze Rs. 57 crores in accounts belonging to cybercriminals. The proactive steps taken by the Punjab Police under DGP Yadav’s leadership are setting a model for other states, and the groundwork laid today is paving the way for a safer, more secure Punjab.

A Vision for a Crime-Free Punjab

Punjab is witnessing a transformation in how law enforcement interacts with its citizens—making safety, trust, and progress the pillars of a new Punjab.
