PESHAWAR: Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Operations Kashif Zulfiqar issued a notification, prohibiting all officers and personnel of the Peshawar police from creating any videos on TikTok, as per media reports.
According to the notification, police personnel and officers are also banned from sharing their performance in the line of duty on TikTok.
“Making TikTok videos often affects the performance of the police department,” read the notification issued by SSP Operations Kashif Zulfiqar.
It is pertinent to mention here that in December 2023, the Peshawar policemen were banned from using social media and were ordered not to share any content on social media platforms.
The SSP Operations Peshawar had written a letter to the police officers regarding social media policy stating that police personnel are using various social media platforms and are also part of various unofficial WhatsApp groups.
The letter stated that efforts are being made to affect the morale of the police by spreading false and sensational news through social media, so the police should disassociate from social media platforms and WhatsApp groups.
