ISLAMABAD: Islamabad Police will establish a unit to check corruption in the force and take strict disciplinary action against those involved in such practices.

He said that the welfare of policemen would be his top priority and that all of the police personnel would have to work as a team for bringing laurels to the force.
The IGP Aamir said that departmental tests would be conducted from constable to inspector level in December and those securing good marks would be given responsibilities of Station House Officers (SHO), Muharrars and so on.
He further said that conciliatory committees would be constituted in Islamabad on the same pattern as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) as public complaints to be resolved on priority basis this way.
