Lahore, December 05, 2019 (PPI-OT): Inspector General Police Punjab Shoaib Dastagir said that 85 % constables of Punjab police are its actual face which represents Punjab police directly by their body language behaviour and uniform at public level during duty, so to improve the public image of the police and revive its respect and dignity constable must adopt congenial demeanour with professionalism.
He especially directed that while performing their duty one should keep in mind that Punjab Police sacrificed hundreds of lives so strictly refrain from any such act which could cause bad fame to the sacred mission of martyrs. In his address, he further said that Lahore police is my home and I have served here at different ranks and as head of the household I will encourage and appreciate the individuals who are performing well while I also want to make it clear that there is no place for disobedient.
He further said that we can meet public expectations only by further improving public service delivery. He further said that effective implementation of law is among our primary responsibilities so adopting an open-door policy it must be ensured that self-respect of every citizen is cared for and anyone misbehaving with the public has no place in the police department and strict action will be taken against them. He said that this uniform and power is a blessing of ALLAH so it is our duty to perform humbly.
He further said that reward and punishment system in police department is being further strict and officers and officials who perform their duties with hard work, commitment and honesty will be encouraged and appreciated at every level leadership will also stand by them but in case of carelessness, slackness and trespassing the powers no leniency will be shown. He further said that while inspecting the Police Stations officers should also focus on the record and crime graph besides checking the infrastructure. He further said that we have to win the public trust by improving the public service delivery so by hard work play your efficient role in this sacred mission.
He expressed these views while addressing police darbar and Media talk at Police Lines Qila Gujar Singh Lahore.
