Crimes trends are changing in the present era: IGP Khan Baig

Lahore: Since the crimes trends are changing in the present era, there is a dire need to ensure modern and specialized training for the policemen in the police training institutes.

Additional-IG Training Mubarak Ali Athar and Commandant Police Training Center Chung Ahmed Mubarak Ahmed were also present on this occasion besides a number of other senior police officers.

The provincial police chief said that the specialized courses would be categorized in three sections including Operations, Investigations, and intelligence collection. The recruits would be provided training in these three categories so that they could play their role in effectively in the practical field.

IGP Punjab also stressed upon the officials that following their postings in the police stations, they should behave politely with the public and helping the victims must be their top priority. The IGP also directed Commandant Police Training Center Chung Ahmed Mubarak Ahmed to prepare a summary to reward the best recruits keeping in view their behaviour and discipline in order to encourage the outstanding recruits besides the position holders.
