Introduction of Policing Sector

Accountability for police officers should be an expectation not an abberaration.

To aware the people about community policing Everywhere in the world, Police is considered as the frontline of defence, precisely, a “pawn “on the board of crime. Having direct contact with society at every level, it plays a vital role in ensuring the smooth and steady functioning of law and order situation in the society. Therefore, everywhere in the world, capacity building of the Police department is a top priority of concerned stakeholders. However, unfortunately, in Pakistan, things have been otherwise. This contradictory prevailing trend, when it comes to policing, has led to many devastating consequences for the society as well as the department itself.
