RAWALPINDI, Dec 11 (APP):Regional Police Officer (RPO) Rawalpindi Babar Sarfraz Alpa on Thursday visited Wah Saddar Police Station and Taxila Police Station to review policing standards, operational performance and citizen-service facilities.
According to a spokesman, the RPO was accompanied by the Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Taxila, the station house officers concerned and other senior officers during the inspection.
RPO Alpa examined the buildings, lockups, front desks, armoury rooms and other administrative sections, and reviewed the record of registered cases, under-investigation files and progress in heinous crime cases.
He also offered prayers at the Shuhada Monument inside Wah Saddar Police Station for Constable Sajjad Hussain Shah, who had embraced martyrdom in the line of duty.
Issuing clear directives, the RPO said that the prompt arrest of all suspects nominated in first information reports must be ensured. “Every case must be investigated on merit, transparently and strictly based on evidence, with challans submitted to the relevant courts within the given time frame,” he said.
He warned that unlawful detention of any citizen would not be tolerated. A police station, he added, was “a service centre,” therefore every visitor must be treated with courtesy and respect, with officers ensuring a better service culture.
RPO Alpa further stressed that officers and personnel should restore public confidence through their conduct, performance and professional competence. “Every policeman must prioritise the rule of law, respect for citizens and the provision of justice,” he said, directing sustained and effective actions against criminal elements to maintain peace and order.
