It has been reported that in a recent selection test held for the United Nations peacekeeping missions, a total of over 600 police officers failed in English language.
This is not surprising given the attention paid to the training of these police officers. Due to this negligence, the police staff is unable to polish their professional skills and perform at their maximum capacity.
It is pertinent to mention here that a female Pakistani police officer has also been awarded 2011 International Female Police Peacekeeper Award by the United Nations. Imagine, what can be made of our police force if our administration provides them with proper facilities and required training.
