Punjab Inspector General of Police (IGP) Inam Ghani has said that services and capabilities of expert instructors of modern policing and crime fighting were being utilised to upgrade quality of the department.
Speaking to APP on Sunday, he said that modern techniques were being used in the training of different police services, including Elite Force, Dolphin Force and Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD), so that more competent and strong personnel could be trained and sent into the field.
He further said that the strategy of punishment and reward was in place for improvement of the police service. “All command officers have been instructed to ensure transparent, merit-based process of punishment and reward, free from any haste.”
To a question, he replied that big penalties for minor errors and irregularities could lead to lowering of morale of the force and, therefore, a disciplinary matrix, formulated by the Central Police Office, was being employed.
The IGP said that the Central Police Office played a supervisory and monitoring role more effectively for improvement in the punishment system.
The IGP stated that the Elite Force was a trained and specialised operational force of Punjab Police, which could be used only in the field during high-profile and intelligence-based operations.
