Gujarat Police has implemented a series of statewide safety initiatives focused on digital protection and vulnerable populations. In late July 2026, the department conducted “Operation Surakshit Cyber Space,” which utilized CCTV analytics and cyber tools to locate and reunite 42 missing children. This operation also included over 5,000 awareness programs targeting threats such as sextortion, deepfakes, and financial fraud.

Building on these efforts, the police launched the “Surakshit Shakti” campaign in August 2026. This 28-day drive specifically targets the safety of women and girls through preventive policing, increased patrolling, and the use of body-worn cameras. The initiative continues to emphasize digital safety education to combat online grooming, cyberbullying, and various digital scams.
