Migration of lakhs of people every day, thousands of vehicles coming from
various routes, toll tax collection at entry points, arranging for vehicular parking, traffic movements, law and order arrangements at the temple, managing the long queues of devotees for darshan, controlling crime and ensuring the safety and security of the devotees are the few important issues to be dealt with by Deoghar Police. All these issues are tackled efficiently by the police with co-operation of people. Cases related to heinous offences have been selected for fast-track trial. There has been a sharp decline in the number of this type of offences registered over the last few years due to the persistent efforts of police which reflects upon the better, secure environment in the district. Deoghar police is trying to reduce the public-police gap through community policing initiatives. Police is committed to the primary task of reaching out to all sections of the society and has been promoting many events to bring out young talents. "A healthy police public relationship on a continuing day to day basis is vital to secure the desired measure of public involvement and co-operation in police work to make it meaningful and acceptable to the society". This makes it imperative for the police to take the public with them in their activities. Without this the police action tends to be viewed arbitrary and authoritarian. Hence we request you all people to work with police in close co-operation to build a peaceful society in this holy district.

Jharkhand  and Bihar are facing the menace of Naxalism. Deoghar district has border with Jamui and Banka Districts of Bihar on the one side and Giridih, Dumka and Jamtara districts of Jharkhand on the other. All the surrounding districts are badly infested with naxal activities in one stage or the other. Thus, geographical location of Deoghar make it vulnerable to the Naxal activity spread. Besides, Land related issues are the major cause of concern for Deoghar.

From naxal point of view, Deoghar  district is very sensitive.
