The regional training centre of Sahiwal police has received eLearning curricula from United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) to enhance core policing and law enforcement skills of its officers along international standards.
The Sahiwal regional training centre was established in April 2017 to deliver on-job training and various capacity building programmes to police officers of various ranks from the region.
The Punjab police established an eLearning centre to address the training needs of the policemen in specialised areas such as drugs related crimes, human trafficking & migrants smuggling, awareness and preservation of digital evidences, crime scene investigation and criminal intelligence etc.
Regional Police Officer (RPO) Muhammad Tariq Chohan and UNODC Country Representative Cesar Guedes inaugurated the newly established eLearning centre at the Sahiwal Regional Training Centre.
UNODC's Criminal Justice Programme Adviser Jouhaida Hanano and other officials were also present on the occasion.

Under the initiative, the UNODC with support from its international partners assisted the Government of Pakistan in implementing its policy priorities in the areas of criminal justice system, drug control and border management, drug demand reduction and controlling HIV/AIDS.
The RPO extended gratitude and appreciation to UNODC Pakistan on behalf of the police department for the assistance in building the human resource and operational capacities of Sahiwal police.
Chohan said that the police had developed additional training institutions at regional level to address the training needs of field and operational force at the front line, who deal with and act as the first responder to crimes.
He said, “Sahiwal Regional Training Centre is being equipped with essential training facilities, utilising modern tools and methods for on-job training of police officers in specialised crime areas.”
He added, “The UNODC's eLearning platform would complement the traditional training methods and mock scene exercises as it provides a wide range of training courses related to crimes which are interactive, self-paced, more engaging and easy to comprehend.”
UNODC Country Representative Cesar Guedes praised the Punjab police for all the efforts to raise the competency, professionalism and the field effectiveness of its force through resourcing the training institutions.

He stressed on the need to undertake more concerted and joint efforts to raise the capacity of the country's law enforcement adequately in order to prepare a tougher response against all forms of crimes and terrorism.
Guedes said that UNODC had significantly increased international support for Pakistan under the new programme which would address the country's development challenges within its mandated areas of illicit trafficking; drug control and crime prevention.
He maintained that more support in use of forensic, technological and modern methods in investigation of criminal cases was reflected in UNODC's programmes to enhance the operational capacity of the law enforcement agencies.
He pointed out the UNODC established 55 eLearning centres across Pakistan, while for Punjab police it was the ninth eLearning centre that was established at Sahiwal Regional Training Centre.
