“To build the capacity in the human resource of the Punjab Police to
tackle the policing challenges of 21st century”
Trained instructors are posted in the institutions to educate the trainees in Basic and

It was observed that there was no uniform examination policy being followed in
all PTIs except a brief mention of examination in the Police College Manual,
2002. In this regard different instructions/policies had been issued from time to
time in bits and pieces. The conduct of examination is a very important aspect in
19
any Police Training Institution and there was a dire need to formulate a
comprehensive policy about the conduct of examinations and permission to re-
appear for failures in basic as well as promotional courses. In view of the narrated
factors, an examination policy-2012 was prepared and issued with approval of
competent authority.
10.2 Standing Order 4/2015 Regarding Selection/ Posting/ Tenure of Instructors
In the year 1976 a policy was introduced whereby certain incentives like special
allowance, one-step promotion and provision of opportunity for availing seats of
PTIs for undergoing training courses were given to the instructional staff posted in
the training institutions for a period of three years from different district/units.
Consequently, in 2009 a new policy of training was introduced which could not be
fully implemented being devoid of prior approval from in the Provincial
Government which was mandatory under Atricle-112 of Police Order-2002. Thus,
it had no legal sanctity as observed by the Honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan.
Later on, the said policy was revised with few amendments in accordance of
present day requirements. The Government of the Punjab has approved and the
same was issued with the approval of the competent authority. It is also pertinent
to mention here that in future no benefits of promotional courses would be given
to any Police Official who are serving as Drill & Weapon Instructors in all Police
Training Institutions in Punjab after completion of 03/04 years as Instructor.
20
xiii. All appeals received during the year 2016-17 will be finalized.
xiv. Establishment of a new Police Training School at D.G Khan.
12. Target Achieved (2016-17)

Administrative Issues
Administrative issues being faced by Discipline and Inspections Branch may be bifurcated into
three broad categories. These include logistics and human resource.
Logistics
Since Discipline & Inspection Branch has been recently raised, problems pertaining to
logistics are more challenging and formidable as compared to old formations. It required new
office buildings and residences for the officers and the staff which were otherwise not available
in the regional headquarters. Though, the offices of this branch were established in rented
buildings where police buildings were not available for the time being, yet these spaces were
required to be equipped with necessary equipment, machinery, transport and other office material
including stationary, furniture. It is pertinent to mention here that most of the logistical demands
of the regional offices have been fulfilled by the D & I Headquarters.
Human Resources
As highlighted in the following tables, there is wide gap in the sanctioned and posted
strength in Discipline and Inspections Branch both at headquarters and at the regional levels.
This difference leads to difficulties in the discharge of functions in this newly established branch.
At D & I Headquarters eight personnel were sanctioned as executive staff whereas only two
officers are posted. The Rank-wise detail of these posts is given below:
In regional offices, out of the sanctioned strength of 197 personnel, 141 areposted. There
is shortage of 56 officers in the regional offices. The rank-wise detail ofthese posts is given
below:

Future Prospects
Discipline and Inspections Branch was visualized to be a watchdog on all police units in terms of
an internal but independent tool of oversight. With the broadening of the sphere of policing and
emergence of specialized units under the umbrella of police, this task becomes even more
important. Nevertheless, this branch can yield fruitful results if regional in charge officers are
posted after a thorough integrity screening. Moreover, the sensitivity associated with the job
description of the regional officers demand that they are posted in their independent capacity
instead of giving additional charges to the officers of district police. Furthermore, IT initiatives
are being taken to modernize the working environment of this branch. This modernization
wi11naturallyimprove the efficiency and out-put of this branch.

Chapter No. 8
Introduction:
1. The Police Legal Affairs Division (herein after referred as division) is having its origin
for a period of more than 10 decades. Law is the essential base and foundation on which
the structure of the state is erected. In fact, law is an integral and significant component
for enforcement activity of any police organization. It has its origin since enforcement of
rules in British India by way of Police Rules of 1934.
2. The legal branch became part and parcel of Police organization at the District, Range and
the CPO (Central Police Office) level, discharging its advisory, reportive, representational
and record management functions in the light of Police Rules. Since decades legal branch
is intelligently and diligently assisting the operational field officers, investigation and
assistance in legal matters discharging inter alia a vide range of legal duties, such as
preparing police briefs for the attorneys and the District Courts, preparing legal
documents for presentation of police organization before various judicial forums in the
form of petitions, suits and other service matters besides the maintenance of record and
registers on production and convictions. It also provides legal guidance as and when
required by the police officers.
1. Object of Creation of Legal Affairs Division:
The Punjab Government in 2006 felt it expedient to reorganize legal branch to establish
independent prosecution service for the prosecution of criminal cases in Province through
enacting the Punjab Criminal Prosecution Service (Constitution, functions and powers)
Act, 2006.
2. Creation of the Legal Affairs Division:
The Punjab Government established independent Legal Affairs Division in the province
of Punjab for the prosecution and defence of criminal cases before the courts of law in the
province. The Government enacted the Provincial Legislative Act, which led creation of
the Punjab Criminal Prosecution Service (PCPS). Prior to enactment of prosecution Act,
2006, the legal branch of the Punjab Police department directly prosecuted the criminal
cases before the courts of law. Now, after the enactment of criminal prosecution Act,
2006, the prosecutorial functions are transferred to the prosecution department from
Punjab Police. In 2006, the Provincial Police Officer (PPO) Inspector General of Police,
44
Mr. Zia-ul-Hassan Khan moved a summary for the creation of Legal Affairs Division
through re-structuring of legal Branch. Mr. Zia-ul-Hassan the then Inspector General of
Police observed:
“Article 8(2) (q) of the Police Order, 2002 visualizes organization of Police on
functional basis that, inter alia, includes “Legal Affairs”. In this age of
specialization, complex legal issues which are being faced by the police officers
every day especially at no legal background and little knowledge of law, the
police functionaries need to have assistance of legal experts in discharge of their
duties. Every police action is scrutinized by the judiciary either by exercising the
powers of judicial review of plenary powers under Criminal Procedure Code.”
The IGP emphasized the creation of LAD (Legal Affairs Division) for better productivity,
promotion of efficiency in the interest of the department and to implement the police
Order 2002, in letter and spirit. Actually the litigation has distinctly increased in shape of
criminal cases, civil suits and service matters.
There is an acute shortage of law officers in the department as the already insufficient
officers are also deployed for legal assistance. Following is the present sanctioned
strength of the division:
Position / Rank Number
DIG/Legal 01
SSP/Legal 02
SP/Legal 19
DSP/Legal 129
Inspector/Legal 459
Part of this re-organization was the creation of a „Legal Cell‟ at the CPO, to be headed by
an officer of the rank of a DIG with the following duties:
a. To advise the IGP/PPO on all legal matter matters;
b. To provide legal support to other Staff Officers of the PPO;
c. To deal with litigation at the level of Supreme Court, High Courts, PST,
Ombudsman, Civil Courts & Criminal Courts of law;
45
i. To brief the Law Officers and to appear on behalf of IGP etc before the Courts of law
to defend and prosecute the cause of the department;
Due to shortage of law officers in the Punjab Police department, the department is facing
gigantesque difficulties and handicapped to defend and prosecute efficiently to the cause
of the department before the courts of law.
3. Structure of the Division at the CPO:
Under the leadership of the DIG/Legal, the LAD component at the CPO is structured
along functional lines:
a. The office of the DIG/Legal, advising directly on the most important legal issues
involving departmental policy matters as well as the most sensitive cases;
b. The Human Rights Cell (HRC) cell, dealing exclusively with cases/Human Rights
Complaints before the Supreme Court of Pakistan (SC) received from the Director
Human Rights Cell, in its capacity as the protector of the fundamental/human rights
granted by the Constitution of Pakistan;
c. Lahore High Court (LHC) cell, dealing with writ petitions and other cases pending
before the LHC;
d. Punjab Service Tribunal (PST) cell, dealing with cases and appeals pending before
the PST, and
e. Hqrs/Miscellaneous Cell, taking up all other matters upon the direction of the
AIG/Legal & DIG/Legal requiring legal advice, processing of references and assistance.

4. Duties and Responsibilities of the Legal Affairs Division:
The duties and responsibilities of the Legal Affairs Division include advising and
assisting the IGP on legal matters as well as on policy matters and provide legal advice
and legal guidance, in legal matters to the filed officers as well to all the senior and junior
Police Officers, as and when required. One of the most important duties of the Legal
Affairs Division is to assist the IGP in interpreting law and to liaison with Research and
Development branch for further developing and proposing amendments to the rules as
and when required.
5. Matters pending before the Superior Judiciary:
The great responsibilities of the LAD are that to prepare comments, responses
representations, reports and the same to be filed/submitted before the superior judiciary
such as the Apex Court and the Hon‟ble High Courts. LAD is also responsible to file
review petitions and appeals before the superior judiciary against the judicial orders and
judgments. This is also one of the most important duty of the LAD to file comments and
reports to the Hon‟ble Apex Court in Human Rights cases.
Year Number of HRC RECIEVED
2014 2876
2015 1892
2016 860
6. High Courts:
The cases are fixed before the Hon‟ble High Courts on daily basis, and we have only one
one DSP/Legal-LHC and four Inspectors/Legal, who are representing our department.
Hon‟ble High Courts of and on direct the department that the law officers must not be
blow BPS-17 i.e. DSP Legal to appear before the High Courts. Approximately 8 to 15
cases are fixed before the different Hon‟ble judges of the High Courts on daily basis. Due
to shortage of law officers as required by the Hon‟ble High Courts this is very difficult for
LAD to defend the cases effectively before the Hon‟ble High Courts. In this connection to
meet the daily requirements of the Hon‟ble Courts the law officers i.e. Inspectors legal to
be deputed to defend the cases before the Hon‟ble High Courts be up-graded without
further loss of time. The detail of cases for the years, 2014 to 2016 is given below:
Number of Writ Petitions Filed
Year
Before the Hon’ble Courts
2014 1407
2015 1304
2016 1306
47
7. Cases before the Punjab Service Tribunal:
The Punjab Service Tribunal is the judicial forum where the police officers/employees
file appeals against the orders of the departmental appellate authorities. Sometimes the
officers/employees file appeals against the orders of the IGP or other competent
authorities before learned PST to claim promotions. The Legal Affairs Division defends
such cases before this important forum, which in fact is the next higher authority of the
departmental authorities. The learned PST after hearing both the parties passes the
judgment/order. If the judgment is against the department, then it is critically examined
by the Legal Affairs Division for availing of further remedy by way of petition of leave to
appeal in the Hon‟ble Apex Court. This advice is subject to approval of Addl. IGP. In
case the Legal Affairs Division proposes not to avail further remedy before the Apex
Court then the matter is referred to Addl. IGP or quarters concerned with intimation to
implement the judgment of the learned PST. The following table reflects the quantum of
work with respect to PST.
Approximately 800 appeals are pending before the learned PST and round about 20 to 30
appeals are fixed for hearing on daily basis. Due to shortage of law officers in LAD this is
very difficult for LAD to defend effectively before the PST on daily basis. Only one DSP
Legal is appointed to defend the cases before learned PST. Of course due to shortage of
law officers the efficiency may be hampered in the effective defence of the cause of the
department before the learned PST.
48
9. Civil Courts:
Civil suits are filed against the police department in Civil Courts. In many civil suits
comments and reports are received from Districts and Regions which are vetted by the
Division. Written statements are signed by LAD through Addl. IGP/Legal and file before
the Civil Courts. LAD is not only representing IGP but also appear on behalf of the other
police officers. The following table lists the number and status of such cases.

police organization. The LAD receives in hundreds the references from different units of
police per year. The Division is also involve in proposing developing and framing
amendments to the Police Rules.
13. Cases of Missing Persons:
LAD is dealing with cases of missing persons. Addl.IGP/Legal is the head of the LAD
and focal person in these matters within CPO, representing IGP at the hearings and
meetings of Commission and with Home Secretary on behalf of IGP and correspondence
with Commission and field officers and Home Secretary. Missing Person Cases are
pending before Hon‟ble Supreme Court of Pakistan. Some time Apex Court directs the
police department for the production of detenues. The department has to comply with the
directions of the Hon‟ble Supreme Court of Pakistan.
14. Human and material resources available:
15. Challenges:
The Division is facing multiple challenges to its proper functioning at this moment. They
come from a host of factors: the work culture, quantum of work, inadequate capacity and
limited resources. The issues of organization and communication are equally important.
50
a) Quantum of Work and Limited Sources:
Most of the challenges inventoried under “A” above come from the fact that there is no
match between the quantum of work the Division has on its table and the resources
available to it. The quality of work is suffering simply because of non-availability of
adequate capacity. Just to give an example, if there are 20 cases listed on a given day
before the “PST” and the Division has just one DSP representing the organization, and
preparing comments and reports for those cases, then the quality of such representation
and preparation of our legal position is not hard to guess!
The Hon‟ble High Court usually requires gazetted legal officers fully conversant with the
fact of a sub-judice case to attend the proceedings and produce relevant record. There
have been cases, where one-sided orders have been issued in writ–petitions for lack of
adequate representation. A proper representation is impossible to achieve without
enhancing the capacity of the Division by increasing the numbers of the gazetted legal
officers at the CPO. The Division, shouldering one of the key responsibilities of the CPO
needs to be upgraded as soon as possible.
b) Work Culture:
Legal Branch, despite huge significance of its work, has received lesser attention in items
of organization and capacity building than the operational policing. Decades of practice
have crystallized a bit of a laid-back attitude and a culture of mechanical functioning
without proper and clear goal-setting to be pursued proactively. The mode of working has
become defensive be it the internal organizational matters or issues in litigation. This is
evinced by the fact that it has adopted a general attitude of compliance of the judicial
orders without debating their merits, mostly not exercising its legal right of filling timely
and well-reasoned appeals. Consequently, our appeal activity is limited and leaves much
to be desired in terms of quality. Being the legal face and voice of the Punjab Police, the
Division needs to act with greater independence, responsibility and pro-activity
constantly reviewing the laws, rules and procedures governing the police function in the
province, and developing proposals for keeping the rules updated in the light of changes
taking place in the realm of policing.
51
17. Access to Legal Literature/Case Laws:
Keeping in view the necessity of access to the latest judgments and case laws the LAD
has been linked for one year i.e. 2017-2018 with pakistanlawsite to get online access to
the latest as well as other reported cases.

Chapter No. 9
E-POLICING
i) Police Station Record Management System – PSRMS (FIR Management System)
Starting from FIR registration to culprit/ suspect nomination, case proceedings and
closures etc were complex activities for public as well as police. Further, retrieving the FIR
details when required was also strenuous and time consuming procedure. The manual work and
repository would make monitoring and keeping track of certain FIRs and crimes monitoring quite
difficult. All 25 registers are to be maintained by a Police Station and that used to include pile of
written and printed forms for crime report application, FIR, Zimni, etc.
A detailed web application is built to automate the FIR registration and all 25 registers. It
covers full life cycle of FIR registration (FIR launch, nomination of culprits, case files, court
proceedings and case closure) and provides system generated FIR copy. System is integrated
with NADRA, HRMIS, AVLS and CRO which ensures data integrity, speeds up the entry
process in addition to over 100+ reports and multiple dashboards for monitoring.
This system has entirely changed the way of traditional policing and has established a
new regime of modern policing. It is operational in all 714 police stations of Punjab. It has not
only eliminated the margin of fake FIRs registration but also has improved police efficiency by
replacing the manual work. All FIRs with their progress details are few clicks away from high-
ups. PITB & Punjab Police has deployed this application for Sindh Police and its operational
there already while Gilgit Baltistan and Balochistan have requested the same.
Since its roll out across Punjab i.e. march 2017, 878,097 FIRs are registered so far which shows
the adaptation of this system comparing year 2016 tally of 311,895 FIRs.
53
ii) Punjab Police Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS)
Legacy policing lacks a central and effective Human Resource Management system. Each
officer has a manual file called “Aamal Nama” which contains officer‟s personal data including
service role details. That is manual file which is poorly maintained, has partial & incomplete
records mostly and can be altered easily with no tracing of transfers, personal criminal record etc.
HRMIS a web application to record and maintain HR related data of police employees.
There is one module for grade 17 and above and one for 16 and below. It contains complete
personal details of a police officer, service history, ACRs (performance report) etc. It offers
database of all Police force with their complete record and numerous reports for effective human
resource management. All transfer posting orders are generated through this system.
This is operational in all 36 districts. Senior police officials use this system to gauge
police officers performance and to place their posting orders when required. HRMIS, in
particular, has gained wide acknowledgement across the country and been requested by other
provinces. Punjab Police & PITB has deployed HRMIS system for Sindh and the system is
functional in Sindh province as we speak. It has enabled police department to manage transfer
posting SOP violations.
Database of 194,369 (176,363 active and 18,006 inactive) police nafri Posting Orders
generated across Punjab via system to-date 21,726
54
iii) Citizen Complaint Handling Centre/ IGP Complaint Management System (8787)
The idea behind was to make it convenient and time efficient for general public to lodge
complaints related to the performance of police. Previously, in Punjab, the complaints were
received through post or a person had to travel to Lahore to submit his complaint in person at the
Inspector General of Police office. It was a time-consuming and less efficient process with no
traceability mechanism.
To give relief to public and manage the complaints, a comprehensive solution was
devised to lodge complaints through email, SMS and voice calls via short code (8787). A state of
the art Complaint Cell is established in CPO Lahore where dedicated team of 25+ resources is
working to address complaints via calls and SMS. A web based secure dashboard is developed
which is integrated with this short code. A complaint number is sent to the complainant which is
used as tracing number. Moreover, complaints are also received online as well as through emails.
The complaint is then assigned to a police officer who works on the complaint and update the
progress/ status of the subject complaints. System provides interactive dashboard and
comprehensive reports.
This system is operational across Punjab and this interface has proved to be effective and
helpful for Police staff as they can keep track of complaints and its resolutions. Further, general
public has appreciated this step as one can submit complaint by merely via SMS or calling a
number and hence can save hassle to visit a police station.
To-date, 64000+ complaints have been logged.
55
iv) Complaints Management System - CMS
Registering a complaint by oneself at police station was a tedious work. Mainly, the un-
welcoming behaviour and unclear procedure to lodge a complaint were the biggest challenges.
Also, there was no proper follow up mechanism for both complainant and police.
An automated web based complaint management system is built to cater complete cycle
of complaints registration in police station. Complaint detail with complainant information is
entered in system and a complaint number via SMS is provided to complainant. Every police
station in Punjab has a front desk where specialized staff (SSA & PSA) greet complainant and
register their complaints in this system in matter of minutes. System provides interface to
complainant for status check and dashboard for police officials for monitoring & reporting.
This system is operational across Punjab and has helped bridging the gap between Police
and general public to great extent. It has gained appreciation and acknowledgment across the
province by Police, Govt. and general public.
Overall, 1,194,802 complaints registered across province and 871,812 are completed
(either qualified as FIR or complainant concern addressed).
56
which, unfortunately was not entered in more than 80% of the cases. Hence, a CRO system
developed around CNIC number that would be easy to retrieve over a web based mechanism,
smartphone or even SMS, was the need of the hour.
This is Software for data entry of personal details (name, appearance, photos etc) of
confirmed offenders. Main idea is to maintain a database containing all personal details of such
offender which can be fetched via CNIC and/ or biometric as required. The data is also available
for retrieval and search. Suspect verification biometric devices are connected to CRO system and
fetch data from CRO to match biometric and its relevant details. It is used for both live and latent
finger prints scanning and matching.
The manual finger prints record is now digitized and available in CRO database with
criminals complete profile. Multiple Law & Order applications are integrated with this data base
i.e. PSRMS (FIR Management System), HRMIS, Hotel Eye, Prison Management System and
Tenant Registration systems.
57
It is web and android based solution to input crime scene location with FIR number,
picture and other details to determine crime frequency and identify crime clustered areas. An
investigation officer while visiting the crime scene enters the crime details in this mobile app
which geo tag the crime scene. The data is then displayed on web dashboard for data analysis e.g.
identification of crime pockets, time trend analysis etc.
This is operational in fully operational in Lahore while other districts are adopting this
system gradually. Police is using this system to determine the crime hit area and deploy
patrolling parties accordingly to control crime ratio. 319,978 crimes details entered and geo-
tagged in Lahore only so far.
There was no mechanism to keep track of hotel visitors checking in the hotels or inns
which was serious threat and challenge for police to be aware of any criminal hiding in nearby
hotel.
A web application to log the check-in/ checkout in hotels along with CNIC and personal
details of visitors. This system is integrated with NADRA, PSRMS and CRO and if someone
having record in aforementioned databases checks in, a notification is sent to police officials who
then can take appropriate action. Also, the data base built using this software is very helpful for
Police to search any particular record of an individual or a particular area/ Hotel.
58
In October 2016, Govt. of Punjab made compulsory for all Hotels to use this system to
log check in and out. Per Police Officials, it has helped them arresting 70 plus criminals so far.
Making the Hotel Eye Software permanent feature of the security process, the police have linked
nearly 600 hotels using this application.
Across Punjab, 1,260,591 check-ins have been registered whereas 5723 Criminal Record
Holders are traced and 318 criminal arrested.
Home and land owners‟ record has been usually maintained but there was no mechanism
to keep track of tenants renting out houses, hostels or rooms in the city. Also, there was no
automated way to identify a tenant to ensure no criminal is taking shelter in the city or entering to
plan some terrorist activity.
It is a web based application to register and monitor tenants who rent out houses. Police
Station Assistants use this system at police station front desk to register owner and tenants. It is
integrated with CRO and PSRMS and if someone with criminal record rents out a house, a
notification is generated to police officials who then can take appropriate action. Also, the data
base built using this software is very helpful for Police to search any particular record of an
individual or a particular area. A mobile app is also built for tenant for initial registration.
It is operational in all districts and has made the neighbourhood secure. Police has now
record of the temporary residents in their areas and hence can manage law & order situation
better.
59
In October 2016, Lahore's Habitual Criminal with 30+ Cases of Decoity & Robbery was
caught in Faisalabad through our tenants registration system integrated with centralized Criminal
Record Office and FIR database.
Across Punjab, 637,635 tenants registered so far and 7,532 Criminal Record Holders have
been traced.
Another great challenge for Punjab Police was the absence of centralized record of stolen
vehicles in all Punjab. There was no automated mechanism to verify a vehicle at check posts and
entry/ exit points which made it quite difficult to control vehicle theft.
This is a web application which maintains Province vide database of snatched/stolen
vehicles. It includes theft reporting, investigation, recovery, Forensic Lab Test and handing over
of vehicles to its owners as per Court proceedings. This application is integrated with PSRMS,
Excise & Taxation Department and Punjab Forensic Science Agency (PFSA). It also provides
centralized monitoring system with SMS alert and comprehensive reporting dashboard.
With centralized database of stolen vehicle, investigation across Punjab has become
efficient and considerably quick. This has helped Police to capture many criminals and recover
stolen vehicles.
In Punjab, 36753 car theft cases have been registered in this system while 8057 vehicles
have been recovered and 3574 vehicle handed over to their owners.
60
ix) Online Monitoring of Entry/Exit Checking Posts
At these Remote Search Parks/Posts which are covered with CCTV camera recording and
connected with Monitoring Cell. AVLS and such other web application being user friendly have
been made accessible for staff at these point for intercepting stolen/snatched vehicles and
tracking of suspects.
61
x) Investigation Toolkit / Bio Metric Verification Devices
This is another android application which accesses various databases like mobile
subscriber ownership database, driving license Lahore database, stolen vehicle database, Excise
& Taxation database, CRMS database and NADRA verisys. This application is installed in
android phones of investigating officers. It provides instant access to the above mentioned
databases and the investigating officers get the required information without any delay.
This application is operational in 36 districts of Punjab. With the help of this system
232,989 individuals and 104,028 vehicles have been checked at Police Nakas or during Search
Operations.
62
xi) Beat Book for Punjab Police
To maintain law and order, Punjab Police has been using the intelligence gathered via
beat officers for a particular Beat. Each Police Station has divided their area in further smaller
administrative divisions called Beats. One police station usually contains 4, 5 beats and one ASI
or SI is assigned responsibility to cover one beat each. Beat officer is supposed to be aware and
keep record of all happenings, crimes trend/ frequency, areas and personnel of high security or
risk etc in that Beat. Beat officer maintain a manual Beat Book which is kept in respective Police
Station. There is no central database where data for all Beats of multiple police stations/ districts
can be kept.
A web based application has been built for Punjab Police. Beat officer now can enter all
intelligence details in that system instead of manual Beat Book and this information is available
to that Beat Officer or higher officers. Using this software, one can add and view the data of all
beats of all police stations. It contains list of important buildings/ establishment, criminals,
people with bad repute and all sensitive details of a particular beat, police station and circle.
It is operational in all 36 districts. This has been instrumental and very effective in
controlling local crime rates by devising purposeful patrol schedule and routes based on the
intelligence gathered and fetched using this system.
It contains 3598 beats detailed record across Punjab which comprises of 259,675 total
data records.
A new Mobile Responsive Website has been redeveloped. Information which includes
rules & regulations, policing plans, monthly crime statistics, criminal record holders, missing
63
persons, unidentified dead bodies, women help, history of Punjab Police, picture & video
galleries, contact details, tenders, jobs, press releases are available for public access at URL
http://www.punjabpolice.gov.pk. This information is periodically updated for public service.

Chapter No. 11
INVESTIGATION
The investigation branch Punjab is the premier investigating agency of the police
department, which carries out investigation of complicated, high profile and contested cases. Its

the attention and resources of the police in 2016. It witnessed a decrease of 80% as compared to
the last year. The relevant figures are cited as under:
10. Despite the onslaught of terrorist incidents and subsequent deployment in security
related measures, the police kept on pursuing the cases in courts. Over all Conviction Rate
remained 50% during the said period of 2016 and upto June 2017 (Murders 38%, Dacoities

year (Murders 32%, Dacoities 22%, Robberies 19% & Kidnappings for Ransom 29%). It means
that investigations and pursuance of cases in the courts were affected by the terrorism infested
environment. The police incessantly worked despite the martyrdom of their brother officers.
11. The Punjab Police never lost sight of the measures required for the apprehension
of proclaimed offenders and court absconders, etc. They are considered the lurking danger for the
society and potential threat for further commission of crime. Total 15529 “A” Categories PO‟s

factors contributory to the societal fabric like population growth, economic deterioration and
unemployment, etc. The performance of these factors has been reflected in the official statistics

as less than optimal. The situation is further aggravated by the upsurge in terrorism and onset of
natural calamities like floods.

The need for training and enhancement of investigative skills of police officers
cannot be overlooked. The Punjab police are conscious of the fact that there is no room for
traditional methods of investigation in the 21st century. Hence, efforts are being made to train
police officers on modern lines and provide them the state of the art training. The following areas
are being focused under this program need special mention: -
a. Homicide Investigation Units have been established in all over Punjab to investigate heinous
crimes.
b. Specialized courses are being run for the investigation staff.
c. Police officers are being trained to use of scientific methods to collect material evidence in
order to ensure effective prosecution.
d. Investigation staff has been provided new investigation kits in order to achieve the objective
of scientific investigation.
e. State of the art forensic laboratory is being established which will be equipped with the latest
testing facilities.
f. Police records are being computerized and linkages are being developed among all districts
and police stations in the Punjab. This will help store and retrieve the requisite data in an
74
expeditious manner.
Consolidation:
To deal with the situation a comprehensive strategy has been adopted and continuous
adjustments and revisions are being made through research, analysis and consultations. Some of
the important ingredients of the strategy are free registration of cases, expeditious investigations,
arrest of proclaimed offenders/court absconders and vigorous prosecutions. The capacity building
and accountability of the officers are also being taken care of appropriately.
Conduct of investigation is a specialized job and investigation branch Punjab, being the
prime investigation agency, is well aware of this fact. Therefore, professional and dedicated
police officers are posted here who could dispense justice.

constantly improving commensurate to the increase in number of Patrolling Posts and efficiency of the
PHP force: -

Found
6348 2646 398 28888 142666 390
8. The number of serious offences taking place on highways in the form of dacoities/
robberies decreased in the jurisdiction of the PHP and also prove the effectiveness of the force which
has helped in either aborting/foiling or responding to such like crimes which otherwise were being
either entirely overlooked or were not being reported hence has also helped in reducing the level of
burking within the Police force.
9. The detail of arms recovered by the Patrolling Police in the year 2016 are as under: -
17 41 72 406 536
10. Literacy level within the PHP force is reflective of the quality intake of human resource
as compared to other Police units. This aspect has helped PHP improving its public image and quality
of performance both in the dissemination of services and efficient performance of its field duties.
However highly qualified force performing function not commensurate to their stature has resulted into
77
a large number of PHP officials opting to go for better jobs hence shortage of large number of
manpower in the ranks of Constable and other ranks.
11. Another negative aspect of the intake of highly qualified Constables has resulted into
large number of Constables wanting to serve in the offices opting for staff jobs and another large
proportion amongst PHP Constables persistently wanting to continue and further improve upon their
academic qualifications hence frequent requests for long leave and permission for admissions into
various universities both within the country and abroad.
12. The positive aspect that has been observed after intake of this new qualified manpower
are that there is hardly any complaint regarding corruption within the force and the general attitude and
behaviour as observed since the inception of this unit is that of courtesy and respect. This is more so
due to the fact that a very large number of these officials are from respectable middle or lower middle
class families who can live well within their means. The breakup of PHP human resources as per their
qualifications is as follows: -
13. PHP although has been facing constant and persistent shortage of Upper Subordinates in
the rank of Sub-Inspector. These ranks which were to manage and command at the Post level, make
shift arrangements had to be made and Upper Subordinates in the rank of ASIs were posted as In-charge
Posts. Furthermore, there is dire need to recruit Driver Constables to fill the shortage.
14. PHP is containing its operations with old fleet of vehicles. A request to this effect has
been moved to replace all operational vehicles. As all most all vehicles have completely prescribed of
millage of condemnation and 10 years of life span.
15. Despite all shortfalls of human resources, fleet and other PHP operations are containing to
save 10387 Km of area of Punjab Highway. No stone is left understand by PHP to keep and maintain
78
the Highways safe for all. These operations are maintained by high techniques, E-Surveillance Systems
being physically inspections.

the civilians involved in riots, demonstrations or protest. In developed countries every effort
is made to control the law and order situation by using minimum force. Generally, non-
lethal weapons like batons, tear gas, pepper spray, water cannon, police dogs, mounted
police, electric teasers, long range acoustic device, stink bombs, armored vehicle etc. are
used in view of number of protestors and gravity of the situation. Whereas, PC has

It is responsible to operate and maintain VHF/UHF/HF and E-Mail Systems. It also gives
Indents for the procurement of wireless and hardware equipment. Now it also operates
NITRS (National Integrated Trunking Radio System) in Lahore and Rawalpindi.
This Wing has been divided into three main cadres i.e. W.T Operators, E-Mail Operators,
and Mechanics to operate and maintain these systems.
Brief History
91
School of Signal, in 1945, who were posted at the above said wireless stations. Later on the
Police Training School was established at Phalour where army trained Police Officials were
appointed as Instructors. The first course in this school started in December, 1945 in which 32
Constables and Head Constables who were matriculate were trained. In the meantime some more
wireless sets and other accessories like batteries were supplied to establish the wireless stations at
most of the district Headquarters. The wireless trained officials were given wireless allowance @
Rs.12/- to Constable and Rs.18/- to Head Constable per month and afterwards it was increased
upto Rs.20 for each Constable and Head Constable. The wireless base stations at the above three
mentioned places were connected with each other. Arrangements were made for three calls on
the following timings:-
1st call 11 A.M.
2nd call 1 P.M.
3rd and last call 3 P.M.
After that the sets were closed till the next morning. In 1946 some more Range
Headquarters and district Headquarters were connected with these stations. In1946 Mr.
MENDEZ was appointed as SP/Technical. He was a Technical person in the field of wireless
communication. Due to riots in 1946 a temporary wireless station was opened in Delhi to
establish the contact with the Provincial and Central Government. In the serious law and order
situation the wireless network was extended to the level of districts. Daily situation reports were
transmitted on the static stations. After partition the Muslim Police Officials having Wireless
Training were deputed for this duty. Even after partition, for some time, Lahore remained
connected with Ambala Range. The wireless contact remained between Lahore and Shimla for
about one month. After partition the technical staff was divided. DIG/T&T got retirement and
went back to his country. SP/Technical left for India and Mr. J. L. Taylor the first SP/Technical
was appointed for Punjab Telecommunications. He deserted from the force in 1958 and went to
India.
In 1947 the Police Training School was shifted in Lahore. The Wireless Control
and the school were shifted to Sargodha in 1948 due to the apprehension of war between India
and Pakistan; SP/Technical continued to sit in Qurban Lines, Lahore.
In 1955 the West Pakistan became one unit and for the purpose of communication
it was divided into North and South Zones.
The staff in NWFP and Punjab was placed under the command of North Zone
whereas Sindh and Balochistan were placed under the command of South Zone. Police Training
School was also shifted from Sargodha to Bahawalpur in 1955.The Wireless Control which was
shifted from Sargodha to Bahawalpur and again shifted to Lahore. Till 1955 the communication
was only on WT system alongwith VHF
92
Radio Telephony system. In 1973-74 TP system was introduced and VHF was
extended in the Province of Punjab. The number of base stations were increased and the number
of Mobile and Walkie Talkie sets were also increased, likewise strength was also increased in
phases. The latest increase in strength and equipment will be discussed in the next pages.

Relief Funds
A fund under the head "Police Telecommunication Relief Fund" has been
established. The main aims and objects of this fund are as under:-
98
i). For providing immediate relief to the families of the members of
Telecommunication Punjab, who die during Service.
ii). Relief is also provided to members in case of their serious illness.
Regimental Fund:-
The loans are given to all genuine cases from the Regimental Fund (admissible under
Rules and Regulations) to meet their requirements. The loans are recovered in easy installments
without interest. This facility is being equally availed by the staff posted at Headquarters and
Out-Stations.
Besides the above, loans are also granted to the Telecommunication Staff from Tele Welfare
Fund placed at the disposal of this Section in order to meet their emergency needs.
Issues:
Following issues need to be resolved to enhance efficiency of the Tele Wing:-
1. Training.
2. NITRS (National Integrated Trunking Radio System).
3. Offices and Accommodation for Tele Staff.
Training:-
This Wing needs qualified trainers to train the staff. At present, the officers of the
Wing are working as faculty staff. It is suggested that fresh graduates in Electronics, Engineering
may be employed as Instructors in Training School. The academic side should be placed under
them. Diploma holders may also be employed. They should form a permanent professional
faculty for academic teachings in the school. Necessary correspondence in this matter is also
being initiated from this office.
The Trunking Radio System has been the latest addition in the Punjab Police
Telecommunication set-up. The NITRS is a system for more superior to the analog system
currently being used by Punjab Police. The system is immensely more secure than the analog
system. The Trunking System is digital in nature and ensures privacy and secrecy of
communication. It has numerous advantages over the previous system which include instant
caller location, formation of groups by choice, introduction of priority between sets, full control
over lost sets rendering them unusable etc.
2. Having all the above mentioned advantages alongwith numerous others. The system is
latest state of the art and naturally way more suitable than the previous analog system. An
99
introduction of the previous Government the NITRS system is facing difficult times
because of the lack of interest on the part of current Provincial and Federal Governments.
The Federal Government needs to eliminate the teething problems that the system is
facing on account of want of infrastructure like installation of three new BTS sites for
complete coverage in Lahore etc. Hence it is again emphasized that in order to save hefty
investments made by the previous Government. The Provincial and the Federal
Governments need to take up this system more seriously and make requisite funds
available.
Conclusion.
It is heartening to record that during the year 2016-17 major changes have been
brought to increase the efficiency and to improve the technical knowledge of the department.
New wireless equipment has been added. The introduction of E-Mail System has also
revolutionized the communication throughout the Province. It is a matter of great consolation that
our technical staff is hard working and competent enough to maintain and operate the latest
wireless system in a manner that the huge machinery of Punjab Police is functioning without any
complaints on account of communication. The Government of the Punjab has given due attention
to equip the department but still a lot is required to be done i.e. to replace the old sets and to
provide sufficient offices/residences accommodation. The overall performance remained more
than satisfactory.
NITRS (National Integrated Trunking Radio System) has been started in Lahore
and Rawalpindi. This project has been financed by the Federal Government. This equipment is at
least three times more expensive than the old analog system. Both systems are running side by
side in Lahore and Rawalpindi. But there are some teething problems like three more BTS Sites
(Towers) are required in Lahore to improve signals in all areas of Lahore. Federal Government
has been requested to provide these BTS Sites so that full dependence can be made upon this
NITRS in Lahore. However, the Federal Government is short of funds and wants Punjab to take
over the system and start spending on it. Punjab Government is hesitant as it is also facing
shortage of funds. It needs to be borne in mind that already a hefty amount has been spent in
order to install NITRS.
100
Qualification for the Tele Staff has been enhanced at the level of recruitment.
Now instead of Matric, the recruits are Intermediate with Science. They will be better placed to
study and understand the modern telecommunication technology as compared to the matriculates.
This is a great leap forward which will enhance the capacity of the Wing. The Standing Order
No. 01/2010 of the IGP has been issued containing these amendments.
In addition to its primary duty of providing communication to local Police all over
the province. This Wing has gone beyond the call of its mandatory duty and has successfully
provided the backup support to the Civil Administration and Criminal Justice Administration by
relaying more than 37309 messages throughout the Province. This Wing has also been helping
other departments like Corporations, WASA, Flood Commission and Irrigation Department to
improve their communication systems. Efforts are underway to keep abreast with the times as
Telecommunication technology is dynamic and keeps improving and changing by the day.
However, at present it is a source of great consolation that by the grace of Allah Almighty this
wing of Punjab Police is performing its duties without any serious complaints from the Punjab
Police.

4. Some of the Initiatives / Special Measures taken by the Punjab Traffic Police are as
under:-
A) Change of Focus – Helping the People
103
Needless to say, documents checking and document related challans remained the
emphasis and focus of the traffic police officers in the past. This mindset was changed in the last
few years. Traffic police was asked to change its focus and concentration from documents
checking to checking of moving violations.
Similarly, through motivation and constant briefings, attitude and behavior of the traffic
police was changed and concept of service, courtesy and help to the public were inculcated in
them. The change of behaviour and attitude on the part of traffic police has been acknowledged
and appreciated by all and sundry.
In addition, the traffic staff was directed to keep an eye on law and order situation, road
crime and criminals and assist district police in such situations. The impetus of crime fighting in
the traffic staff resulted in a number of foiled attempts of street crimes due to alertness of traffic
police. The traffic police staff contributed a lot and foiled a number of murderous attempts,
vehicle lifting/snatching and road robberies during 2015.
b) Traffic Education and Awareness
Traffic education and awareness remained one of the top priorities of the Punjab traffic
police. A comprehensive programme, was prepared by the traffic Hqrs. for this purpose. Under
this programme several campaigns and activities were launched from time to time throughout the
province.
This multi-dimensional programme involved electronic, print and public media. Traffic
Police tried to reach every citizen by any available means to attract his attention towards the
traffic issues, rules and regulation.
The following table summarizes the efforts made by the Punjab Traffic Police to involve
the public and increase their awareness on the traffic laws & rules:-

Chapter No. 19
SPECIAL BRANCH
Introduction:
Foundation of Special Branch, Punjab was laid down by the British Government in 1835
with the creation of Anti-Thaggi and Dakaity Department in British India with Sir William
Saleeman as it first General Superintendent. Thugs were involved in various criminal activities
across the country. So it was the need of the day that there should be a central department to
eliminate thugs. After the war of 1857, the British Government in India thought it necessary to
have a check on anti British organizations. So this department was tasked to keep an eye on such
organizations and collect necessary information about their activities and members. In 1877 the
department was given the additional duty of collecting secret and political intelligence.
In 1887, Special Branch of Police was established in each province with the order of
Viceroy of India. Its main duty was to collect secret information about the various anti British
organizations and to inform the concerned authorities. It was further tasked to have a watch on
sectarian problems, illegal trade, movement of foreigners, movement of suspects and holders of
illicit arms.
In 1902, Fraser Commission recommended to establish a new department with the name
of Criminal Investigation Department. First, the department was established in 1907 at Federal
level and its head was designated as Director. In 1908, CID was established in each province and
Special Branch was merged with CID. Mr. Wallace was appointed as first Director of CID
Punjab. Its charter of duties was notified in 1915 in the form of a manual called CID Manual.
However after the amalgamation of Special Branch into CID, its further reorganization
was carried out. Railways and Crimes Branch were also attached with it and its head was re-
designated as DIG. This new set-up was made to collect criminal and political intelligence and
also deal with the crimes of special nature. Duties of Criminal Investigation Department were
notified as following:-
i. To promote co-ordination among the Police of different districts and different provinces.
ii. To watch and report on all religious and political movements affecting the province and India
as a whole and to maintain close co-operation with district authorities.
iii. To scrutinize the publications of the vernacular press and all Indian owned newspapers and
printing presses.
iv. To check crime by the prompt publication of information of any incident in the CID Gazette.
146
v. To trace and recover the stolen property.
vi. To collect information and prepare intelligence reports to assist District Police in their work.
vii. To undertake the investigation of following cases:-
It is noteworthy that it was clearly mentioned in the orders that this department
was created to assist the district Police and was not given any supervisory authority.
Bifurcation of CID
CID was bifurcated in 1955 into two independent branches, viz: Special Branch
and Crime Branch, because of ONE UNIT. It was felt that one DIG CID was not enough for the
whole province of West Pakistan to deal with Political Intelligence and Criminal Investigation
simultaneously. Special Branch was assigned collection of information about socio-political
activities and Crime Branch was made responsible for investigation of crime on scientific lines.
In 1976, post of DIG Special Branch was upgraded to Additional Inspector General of
Police. Two posts of DIG were created to hold the portfolios of Intelligence and Security of VIPs
and sensitive installations in 1980 and 1986 respectively.
The influx of Afghan refugees after soviet invasion in 1979, brought a flood of
sophisticated weapons and narcotics. This gave birth to many subversive and terrorist activities in
Punjab. In order to counter the situation, a Cell under the supervision of a DIG was created in
Special Branch with the name of Anti Terrorist Cell in 1987.
In the year 1987, Research & Reference Cell under the control of a Director was
