KARACHI:
The establishment of an Institute of Peace and Policing Studies is in progress to cater to the counter-terrorism educational needs of the Karachi police, said Sindh IG Ghulam Hyder Jamali.
Talking to a visiting delegation of the country study tour of the 42nd batch of common training programme at the Central Police Office, he said the institute will offer courses on counter-terrorism techniques to improve the entire policing system. Experts and professionals of the armed forces and former police officials will be invited to conduct courses to enhance the operational skills of the police.
He said that help and police facilitation centres are being set up in Karachi to assist people. A Dispute Resolution Committee at these centres will help resolve all disputes in a fair and friendly manner. The underlying idea is to resolve minor issues at the centres without involving the police station and limit frivolous matters being brought in for FIR registration, he added.
The IG said that initially 10 centres will work round the clock at different locations in Karachi and citizens may simply walk in and get the required help.
