Keralam Cops Now World's Most Popular Police Force On Social Media | WION News

Overview

The video reports that the Kerala Police are successfully using social media to broaden their public reach and engagement, positioning the force as one of the world’s most popular police organizations online. It highlights how Kerala police officers—both senior leaders and others—have become influential “content creators,” shifting from traditional street-level policing to also “chasing followers” and attention on the internet.

Key Points

• Rising social media prominence: The Kerala Police are reportedly surpassing the New York Police Department in social media following.
• Notable online figures:
  • Deputy Inspector General Yatish Chandra is presented as the most visible face online, with 160+ posts and 100,000+ Instagram followers, sharing policing and everyday public-life glimpses.
  • ADGP P. Vijayan is also described as a major online presence, with 24,000+ Instagram followers, posting content such as student police cadet programs, awareness classes, and personal experiences that receive strong engagement.
  • DG P. Manoj Abraham is particularly popular on Facebook, with 93,000+ followers, sharing a mix of humor, public awareness, and direct interaction.
• Strategy and impact: The video argues that the Kerala Police use internet-native language—humor, reels, awareness content, and direct engagement—to build trust with citizens, an approach it says traditional policing often struggles to achieve.
