The police have introduced a new hotline, 1997, to allow the public to report illegal activities, including drug trafficking, large-scale corruption, and crimes that could threaten national security.
The hotline operates 24 hours, with its main operations center set up at the Special Bureau Headquarters attached to the Police Headquarters.
Acting IGP has directed all officers to maintain strict confidentiality regarding the information received via this number.
The hotline can be used to report a range of issues, including drugs and criminal activities, misuse of government vehicles and property harassment or safety issues faced by foreign tourists, incidents of bullying in universities and educational institutions, police bribery or misconduct, and environmental crimes.
For the public in the Northern and Eastern provinces, the hotline 107 is available to report in Tamil.
