Sikkim Director General of Police (DGP) A K Singh has issued a strict circular prohibiting Sikkim Police personnel and officials from engaging in activities such as dancing, singing, or acting while wearing the police uniform. This is “highly embarrassing and detrimental to the professional image of Sikkim Police,” DGP Singh said in the circular issued today.
This directive comes after instances of serving cops creating videos while wearing their uniforms and using operational equipment meant for law enforcement, and then sharing these videos on social media platforms. The DGP has directed all unit heads to ensure these practices are stopped immediately and permanently.
“A matter of serious concern has been recently brought to my attention which is highly embarrassing and detrimental to the professional image of Sikkim Police.
