Lahore Police has implemented a new policy aimed at preventing intimidation through police uniform and misuse of powers. The order applies to SHOs, inspectors, sub-inspectors and assistant sub-inspectors.
Police officials have been instructed to review their personal social media accounts and remove any offensive pictures already posted online.
Ban on offensive content on personal accounts
According to the new order, police officers will not be allowed to post offensive pictures on personal Facebook, Instagram and TikTok accounts. The directive also bans officers from uploading pictures and videos of personal activities while wearing police uniform.
Officials said the move is intended to ensure discipline and prevent the police uniform from being used inappropriately on social media platforms.
Uniform content allowed only on official accounts

The restriction applies to all relevant officers covered under the new order.
Officials said departmental action will be taken against police officers who violate the policy. Any officer found uploading pictures or videos on personal accounts while wearing police uniform may face disciplinary proceedings.
