performance: DPO bound to present report

SWABI: Every district police officer is bound to present a six-month performance report to the district council. This was said by Swabi DPO Javed Iqbal. He was speaking during a meeting with local government representatives on Wednesday.

Iqbal added the district nazim could ask the IGP to conduct an enquiry into a case.

“In the new police ordinance, the district nazim, naib nazim and district public safety commission has the power to assess the performance of the police and report it to high officers,” he said. “The police are always ready to serve the public and they need their cooperation in establishing peace in the district.”

On the occasion, the local government members lauded the efforts of the police force for maintaining peace and security in the district and also gave approval to appoint 500 recruits.
