Punjab Inspector General of Police Rao Sardar Ali Khan on Tuesday said that he is thankful to Allah Almighty for giving him the honor of heading the largest Police Force in the country.
“Protection of life, honour and property of the people and building trust between public and police by maintaining supremacy of law in the society is our real objective. Focus on public friendly policing is my top priority.
Recruitment on merit, transparency in transfer posting and upgrading the investigation system and impartial accountability is significant part of my policy.”
Punjab IG Police Rao Sardar Ali Khan issued the directives in his policy message to all offices and officials posted in all field formations of Punjab police.
The IGP directed the police force to change its attitudes and work for immediate redressal of citizens’ problems with true spirit. He reiterated that change in general image of police through trust building between public and police is the need of the hour.
He further added that no effort should be spared for provision of best service delivery and justice to the aggrieved with effective use of modern technology. Mr Rao said that the main task of the police is to maintain law and order by helping the oppressed.
The message added that supervisory officers should spend maximum time in the field to control crime and improve police image.
“I am convinced to everyone’s self respect, so it will not be tolerated for any officer or official to insult or misbehave with citizens and their seniors and juniors,” and strict departmental action will be taken against them for such misconduct,” he declared.
