Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], July 10: The Madhya Pradesh Police Department has recently launched an initiative by conducting surveys across various social media platforms. While some platforms yielded positive feedback, Twitter users offered more critical views, with the survey’s short duration revealing negative insights.
This approach follows a previous initiative by the MP Police, where they conducted a traditional academic survey to assess public sentiments and evaluate their performance in 2022. The MP Police had successfully gathered citizen feedback through structured surveys, which helped them understand public perceptions and improve their services. This time, the decision to use social media platforms aimed to reach a broader audience and gather more immediate responses.
However, social media surveys can be susceptible to bias due to the misuse of automated bots. This issue might have affected the campaign’s results, leading the MP Police to reconsider the approach. To ensure the authenticity of feedback, the department may have opted not to host these surveys on social media platforms, aiming to avoid potential manipulation by bots.
To maintain integrity, survey links authenticated by real users would be shared on official handles, providing a secure platform for citizens to participate. This method ensures that feedback comes from real individuals, resulting in accurate and actionable data.
Engaging directly with citizens on social media reflects a modern approach to policing. By listening to public opinions, the department can identify areas for improvement and tailor services to better address community needs.
