Renewing the commitment to root out the menace of corruption and make Islamabad police more service-oriented, Islamabad SSP Asmat Ullah Junejo has said that no one within the department would be allowed to do any kind of embezzlement and only those following the policy of zero tolerance would survive.

The SSP said a policy of zero tolerance against corruption would be pursued as this menace is a real threat for good performance. He said corrupt elements and black sheep within the police department would be identified and to be dismissed from the services. Policemen bringing bad name to the department would not be tolerated and they would have to face disciplinary action in case of any corrupt practices.

Islamabad Police, he said, had started an accountability system to monitor performance of the police officials and also awarded punishment to several officers for dereliction of duties, negligence, poor investigation, absence and involvement in corruption.

The SSP said that accountability system helps in improving the performance of any department and working of the staff can be easily judged through it. He said that such accountability system would continue in future and those performing well would be encouraged.

Those policemen having bad reputation about performance would not be given any important assignment and any one indulged in corrupt practices would be purged from the police force, he maintained.

Junejo also directed to make the force more service oriented and people friendly. He said friendly police ecology would be inculcated in the force and FIRs to be registered on merit and without any delay.

The SSP directed to register FIRs of cheques dishonour after having a double check of these matters. He also asked to have a vigilant eye against suspects and enhance checking as well as patrolling measures for effective policing.
