Jammu, Jan 1: Jammu Police carried out intensive security and crime-control operations throughout 2025, conducting 541 cordon-and-search missions and 1,093 long-range patrols while maintaining a zero active terrorist presence in the district, a senior officer said on Tuesday.
Presenting the annual crime and security review, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Jammu, Joginder Singh, reported a significant decline in crime figures, with 4,134 FIRs registered—the lowest in five years—reflecting effective preventive policing.
“Security and anti-terror measures were maintained year-round. There is no active terrorist presence in Jammu district. To sustain this safe environment, over 500 cordon-and-search operations and more than a thousand long-range patrols were carried out,” the SSP said.
He attributed the reduction of 288 cases compared to last year to preventive actions, Public Safety Act and PIT-NDPS detentions, proactive bail contests, and preliminary inquiries under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNSS). Singh also noted the police’s role in Operation Sindoor and during flash-flood relief efforts.
Out of 5,122 cases disposed of during the year—1,968 pending and 3,154 new—Jammu Police achieved its highest disposal rate in five years.
Under the zero-tolerance drive against organised crime, police identified 123 hardcore criminals and gangsters, registering 59 FIRs, arresting 67 accused, and seizing 49 illegal weapons. One accused was booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
As part of the Operation Sanjeevani anti-narcotics campaign, 204 NDPS cases were registered, leading to 309 arrests and 48 convictions. Over 15 kg of heroin—worth an estimated ₹60 crore in international markets—was seized along with ganja, opium, and poppy straw. Four properties were attached, and 23 drug-linked illegal structures were demolished.
In cybercrime, police registered 36 FIRs, resolved 708 complaints, and helped recover over ₹11.9 crore through refunds and lien-marking. Additionally, 746 lost or stolen mobile phones worth ₹1.75 crore were traced and returned to owners.
Theft cases worth around ₹20 crore were reported during the year, with property worth ₹10 crore recovered—marking a 50 per cent recovery rate, the highest in five years.
Over 6,000 police personnel received training in the new criminal laws, cybercrime, NDPS, counter-terrorism, and digital policing during the year. SSP Singh said all major 2025 events—including national functions, pilgrimages, elections, and VVIP visits—concluded peacefully without any law and order incidents.
