Tourism is an important industry in Meghalaya, attracting both domestic and international visitors with its scenic beauty and cultural heritage. To ensure the safety and security of tourists, the police have implemented a range of measures, including the establishment of dedicated tourist police units. These units focus on assisting tourists, providing information about safe travel practices, and offering immediate help in case of emergencies.
In addition to this, the police have increased their presence in popular tourist destinations, working to prevent crimes such as theft, fraud, and assaults. They also run awareness campaigns targeting both tourists and local businesses to promote responsible tourism practices. For visitors engaging in adventure activities, the police coordinate search and rescue operations to ensure that tourists are safe and accounted for, particularly in remote or difficult-to-reach areas.
