LAHORE, Jul 29 (APP):A delegation of Assistant Superintendents of Police (ASPs) from the 52nd Common Training Programme (CTP), currently under training at the National Police Academy, visited the Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) headquarters on Tuesday.

In addition, the officers were briefed on several citizen-focused digital initiatives, including: The Virtual Women Police Station, Child Safety Center, Virtual Center for Minorities, Virtual Blood Bank, Emergency Panic Button Program, Free Public Wi-Fi Services and Crime Stoppers Initiative
