LAHORE: Punjab Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dr Syed Kaleem Imam on Friday said that young officers should get their initial postings in tough areas because the experience of field postings would prove advantageous in professional life.
Directing ASPs during a video link meeting at the central police office, he said that being a civil servant, it was the prime responsibility of policemen to behave well with honesty and professionalism.
“All the officers and officials of police should further improve their performance as well as their behavior so that the complainants consider them their well-wishers,” Kaleem said, assuring that being the head of Punjab Police he would also take all possible steps in this regard.
The IGP further directed the ASPs to further strengthen the coordination between police officers in order to ensure rule of law and safety and security of lives and property of the people. He also asked them to give suggestions to further improve the performance of police and said that female officers should perform their duties with national zeal and fervor and that they should avail command opportunities.
He also emphasised that effective investigation was of vital importance in any case to put a criminal behind bars, and so, all investigation officers should enhance their skills and perform their duty impartially. He said that it was mandatory for officers of all cadres to seek advanced training in order to perform their duties with professional excellence and meet contemporary challenges.
