IG Punjab Dr. Usman Anwar has termed the welfare of police officers as linked to effective crime control. Talking to the families of martyred police officers in Lahore on June 22, Anwar stressed that the welfare of police personnel and their families is a top priority.

More than 35,000 police officers have been enrolled in the health insurance program and more than 25,000 officers’ children have been given educational scholarships. These measures are considered essential to boost the morale of the police force and achieve success against crime.
