PESHAWAR:


A day-long workshop on the role and responsibility of investigation officers on protection and welfare of juveniles was held on Thursday at the Peshawar Police Lines.


The workshop, organised by the Society for Protection of the Rights of the Child (SPARC) in collaboration with the Capital City Police Office, stressed on preparing an investigation report of all juveniles.

Speakers emphasised on providing every police station copies of the Child Protection and Welfare Act 2010 along with Juvenile Justice System Ordinance 2000 so investigation officers were aware of the guidelines.

They also suggested that probation officers should be in contact with the relevant police stations to meet the requirement of the Juvenile Justice System Ordinance 2000, enabling police to inform probation officers in order to assist the courts.

SPARC’s provincial manager for juvenile justice, SP Syed Husnain Haider, ASP Gulbahar Mustafa Tanvir and others briefed participants on roles, responsibilities and functions of investigation officers. They also spoke on Probation of Offenders Ordinance 1960 and role of probation officers.
