Sindh Police launch biometric verification of criminal record

Record of terrorists, offenders and thieves will be just a click away with this service

Sindh Police have launched the Biometric Verification Services, which would help maintain a record of criminals and document unclaimed bodies.

DIG IT Sultan Ali Khowaja announced this during a meeting at the Central Police Office in Karachi on Sunday, saying that the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra), under this service, would store individual record and further provide verification services to the client.

Criminal record of terrorists, offenders and thieves would be just a click away with the assistance of this service, Radio Pakistan reported.



Sindh Inspector General of Police Syed Kaleem Imam had ordered in September to ensure the installation of a biometric system at the Central Police Office within 10 days.

The Sindh IG instructed the officials to ensure that officers and youths affiliated with the police department deployed to any security duty were given regular formal briefings regarding their responsibilities as well as information about different units and branches of CPO.

They should also be apprised of the rules and regulations relating to other departments of the provincial government, he added.
