Promoting community involvement and public safety, Jamshedpur Police has launched a 24-hour WhatsApp hotline (7091091825) for residents to anonymously report criminal activities.
JAMSHEDPUR – Prompt response by the local police to a citizen’s Twitter complaint about late-night rash biking by a group of adolescents demonstrates the importance of community involvement in traffic safety and law enforcement.

The police are optimistic that the 24-hour WhatsApp hotline they have established will foster a stronger relationship between law enforcement and the community they serve.
They, however, caution the public against abusing the service.
The hotline’s aim is to increase community engagement and to create a safer environment by enabling residents to anonymously share vital information about criminal activities or other concerns.
The launch of our WhatsApp hotline is aimed at removing barriers that might have previously prevented people from reporting sensitive information,” said SSP Prabhat Kumar.
We assure the public that their identity will be handled in strictest confidence, enabling them to actively participate in ensuring our community’s safety.”
Authorities will closely monitor incoming information to maintain the integrity of the service, acting on genuine leads as required and dismissing any false or misleading reports.
The public is reminded that the hotline is strictly for information exchange and not for lodging complaints or seeking emergency help in times of crisis.
The 24-hour availability of the WhatsApp hotline ensures that anyone can share information at any time, day or night. “We truly believe that public engagement plays a key role in maintaining peace and order,” added Mr. Prabhat Kumar.
The public is urged to use the hotline responsibly, providing only accurate information relevant to public safety. The department has called on citizens to add the number (7091091825) to their contact list to help make Jamshedpur a safer and more secure place for all.
