An official told APP that the IGP conducted a detailed assessment of the current crime rate, ongoing intelligence-based operations, and the implementation of technology-driven reforms within the Islamabad Capital Territory Police.
While receiving briefings on Safe City smart integration, new tech initiatives and development projects, he stated that Islamabad Police are enhancing the use of modern technology to deliver fast, transparent and smart services to citizens.

He instructed all divisional officers to enhance targeted search operations, checkpoints and daily patrolling to maintain a safe and secure environment for the public.
Furthermore, the IGP reviewed matters related to police welfare and stressed that the well-being of police officials — including housing, duty schedules, medical facilities and essential amenities — must be prioritized.
