5 Chapter No. 1 POLICE ORGANIZATION
Punjab being the biggest province of Pakistan has the largest Police Force in the Country comprising 1,79,921 personnel including nine Regional Police Officers, four City Police Officers, one Capital City Police Officer and thirty-five District Police Officers. The other field formations working under the Central Police Office, Punjab areInvestigation, Punjab Highway Patrol (PHP), Traffic, Elite, Special Branch, Counter Terrorism Department (CTD)and Punjab Constabulary. Here is a brief of Punjab Province from Police point of view.
Police Profile Population 90 million Police Strength 179921 Area 205,344 km2 Annual Crime 383,379 Police/Population ratio 1:529 Police Rules Standard 1:450
The Punjab Police operates under the Police Order 2002 and the Police Rules of 1934 which will remain operative till the new rules are framed. The Inspector General of Police is ex-officio secretary to the Government of Punjab. He has administrative and financial powers of the Secretary to the Provincial Government with total autonomy in operational, administrative and financial matters subject to the policy, oversight and guidance given by the Chief Minister. Central Police Office issituated at Lahore has a number of functional units i.e., Finance and Welfare, Establishment, Investigation, Operations, Training, Research & Development, Punjab Constabulary, PHP,CTD, Traffic, etc. These units report to the Inspector General of Police through their respective Additional Inspectors General of Police. The Regional Police Officersreport to the Inspector General of Police directly and they do not form part of the Central Police Office.

The Government has spent huge money in order to inculcate functional specialization in the police department as well as equipping the police with necessary hardware. Creation of the Punjab Highway Patrol and traffic-warden setup are some worth mentioning initiatives in the recent past. State of art Forensic Science Laboratory have been established where crime scene unit has also been established for 6 collection of evidence and DNA testing. Cyber Crime Unit at provincial level and IT experts at district level are also being created for the improvement of the quality of investigation. For improvement of Human Resource Management and capacity building of the force capacity and quality of training institutes are being updated. Punjab police has also reorganized Special Branch and Counter Terrorism Department. Rising population, worsening economic conditions, un-employment, economic disparities, terrorism and deteriorating social fabric have adverse impact on crime situation. Therefore, the main priorities of Punjab Police are maintenance of Law and Order, prevention and detection of crime, especially terrorism, suicide bombing and sectarianism. Punjab police is committed to the principles of justice, equality, integrity, fairness and respect for human rights and law enforcement inconformity with international norms and best practices. Police Rule 2.2 gives a formula for calculating the police strength which is based on the crime increase and population increase in the respective police station/district. It clearly states that for working police population ratio in urban areas/towns with a population of 30000, the total strength of police in each case should not exceed one constable for 450 inhabitants. Local conditions, such as the volume of commercial activity, the importance and frequency of fairs and festivals, the general criminality of the neighborhood and the like must be considered. But in actual practice recruitment is carried out whenever vacancies occur in the existing strength of the respective police establishment or whenever the government sanctions new posts in different ranks. The strength of Police personnel is not commensurate with the multifarious duties that police has to perform in the prevailing law and order situation in the province. For this police strength for each unit needs to be worked out again to meet the challenges.
SPECIAL PROTECTION UNIT Special Protection Unit, Punjab was established for the security of Foreign Nationals / especially Chinese and Projects. SPU has not its own manpower. Presently 2242 police personnel have been attached from different districts with Special Protection Unit Punjab are providing security to the Chinese on ten projects in the Punjab. There are 62 Public and 100 Private projects in Punjab Province. Moreover, the recruitment of 2609 Police Personnel for SPU has been approved by the Chief Minister Punjab which is under process. The main object of creating Special Protection Unit is to provide security cover to the foreign nationals especially Chinese working on different public and private projects to avoid any untoward situation. It is further stated that a summery has been moved to Chief Minster Punjab for the approval of new recruitments of SPU personnel which will be deployed on above said projects in Punjab.
LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS According to Standing Order No. 01/2015, Legislative Business Branch, CPO was established vide letter No. 425/Exect-III, dated 06.02.2015 andthe job descriptions of AIG/Legislative Business were designed which are as under:- 7 i.

ACTION MODULE:
CONCEPTUAL CHANGE:
Proper training is a prerequisite for ensuring professionalism and efficient delivery of service. Adoption of modem techniques and methodologies in vogue in advance countries. Intellectual grooming as well as physical training.
23 Inculcating a sense of dignity, self respect and professional pride in trainees. Punjab Police Training Policy-2011
The purpose of Police Training is to develop the necessary attitudes, skills and knowledge, which will enable police officers of all ranks to undertake their roles and responsibilities as expected under police rules and international standards of law enforcement. Punjab Police Training Policy-2011 prepared by the Training Branch with the collaboration of GIZ- Gender Responsive Policing (GRP) Project. Examination Policy
It was observed that there was no uniform examination policy being followed in all PTIs except a brief mention of examination in the Police College Manual, 2002. In this regard different instructions/policies had been issued from time to time in bits and pieces. The conduct of examination is a very important aspect in any Police Training Institution and there was a dire need to formulate a comprehensive policy about the conduct of examinations and permission to re-appear for failures in basic as well as promotional courses. In view of the narrated factors, an examination policy-2012 was prepared and issued with approval of competent authority. Policy – Selection/Posting/Tenure of Instructors:
In the year 1976 a policy was introduced whereby certain incentives like special allowance, one-step promotion and provision of opportunity for availing seats of PTIs for undergoing training courses were given to the instructional staff posted in the training institutions for a period of three years from different district/units. Consequently, in 2009 a new policy of training was introduced which could not be fully implemented being devoid of prior approval from in the Provincial Government which was mandatory under Atricle-112 of Police Order-2002. Thus, it had no legal sanctity as observed by the Hon‟ble Supreme Court of Pakistan. Later on, the said policy was revised with few amendments in accordance of present day requirements. The government of the Punjab has approved the same and now is pending with competent authority for final approval. IMPROVEMENT IN TECHNIQUES
Augmenting routine reading and lectures with audio visual training aids. Introduction of simulation techniques. Selection of best available trainers/instructors both from within the department as well as from other sectors like universities, corporate institutions, bar associations etc. Improving cognitive and interpersonal skills through syndicate discussions, workshops and case studies. INTERNATIONAL POLICE LIAISON.
24 In the year 2014 about 62 officers have participated in foreign training courses/seminars to improve their professional knowledge and skills. SELF PROTECTION TRAINING.
In all basic courses physical exercise is integral part of the training whereby they are trained for un-armed combat, Martial Arts and Judo Karate. JUNIOR COMMAND COURSE. Junior Command Course mandatory for promotion from the rank of DSP to SP has been introduced at Police College Sihala. TRAINING OF NEWLY RECRUITED 1500 (AT PRESENT 860 OF TWO BATCHES) CORPORALS IN COLLABORATION WITH TURKISH NATIONAL POLICE (TNP): Counter Terrorism Force has been raised in CTD to fight the menace of terrorism. Academic & Physical aspects including Elite Training have been dove tailed to impart a professional training to the Corporals at EPTS, Lahore. After completing common training programme of 7 months, the corporals will be divided into specialized legs of Operations, Intelligence and Investigation. The special training programme of two months will be conducted by the instructors of Punjab Police specially trained by Turkish Trainers in close collaboration with Turkish Instructors. TRAINING OF 423 DIRECTLY RECRUITED SUB-INSPECTORS AT POLICE COLLEGE, SIHALA:
A total number of 497 T/SIs were issued appointment letters out of which 423 reported for training. A professional training on modern lines is being conducted by the officers/officials of SihalaPoliceCollege and in this regard 6 PSP officers of different ranks have specially been attached with PoliceCollege, Sihala. They will be given 09 Months training at Sihala and then they will move for 03 months specialized Elite Training at EPTS, Lahore. The trainees have been divided into four companies, properly supervised by 04 PSP officers. New Modules/Syllabi have been prepared in the light of modern day policing to inculcate the real spirit of policing required to fight the multidimensional challenges of present day. Instructors of college as well as guest speakers from public and private sector are being invited to have an intellectual discourse/interaction/discussion with the young under training officers.
25 COMMENCEMENT OF BASIC RECRUIT TRAINING COURSE FOR 5317 (MALE 4777 & FEMALE 540) NEWLY RECRUITED CONSTABLES/PREVIOUSLY RECRUITED:
Newly recruited male/female constables are being trained on modern lines in 4 Police Training Institutes and PoliceTrainingCollege, Lahore. Besides these newly recruited constables, a large number of un-trained police officials in the rank of constables who have not earlier undergone Basic Recruit Training Course are also being trained with the newly recruited constables. Special Anti Riot Equipment training will also be given to empower the police in this regard. After basic training of 6 months, 8 weeks Combat Orientation Training will also be imparted to the under training constables by the 4 dedicated teams specially selected from the Elite qualified police officers/officials of different districts.
APPOINTMENT OF 7 PSYCHOLOGIST IN PTIS:
Psychological Profiling of Corporals for their division into specialized legs has been conducted by the female psychologists and now the scoring and interpretation process is in pipeline. Psychologists have been tasked to teach Communication and Media Management Module to the 1st term of corporals of three batches. They will also teach the same Module to the under training Sub-Inspectors at Sihala. Psychologists also provide counselling to the trainees of different PTIs. CAPACITYBUILDING AND SPECIAL PROMOTIONAL TRAINING COURSES AT POLICE TRAINING COLLEGES FOR OFFICERS OF PUNJAB POLICE:
Introduction of new modules i.e. Human Rights, Community Policing and CharacterBuilding to improve the Thana Culture. Promotional Training Courses in the field of Investigation, Operations and Intelligence have been made mandatory for the promotion of Sub-Inspectors and in this regard courses are being conducted on regular basis at PoliceTrainingCollege, Lahore.
SPECIAL TRAINING PROGRAMMES IN DISTRICT POLICE LINES SCHOOLS:
The following courses are being organized in all the District Police Lines under the supervision of concerned DPOs and properly monitored by the Training Branch so that the police officers/officials can learn the modern policing techniques: o Improvement of „Thana‟ Culture o Investigation Course 26 o Moharrar (Duty Clerk) Training o General Guard Duty Training Course
ISO CERTIFIED.
We are proud to mention that PoliceTraining School, Lahore is the first Police Training Institution in Pakistan followed by PTS Sargodha which have been certified by (ISO 6001- 2000) International Organization of Standardization. Both the Schools have received management system certificate and Logo by “Get Norske Yerltas” The Netherlands, Certificates Organization. Preparation of this certification helps up to organize our documents and work in a systematic manner. FUTURE ACTION FOR ACHIEVING THE ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS
i. Provision of Training Aid, Forensic Lab, Mock Crime Scene Investigation Outdoor/Indoor facility for all PTIs. ii. Establishment of Electronic Libraries in PTIs. iii. Financial incentives for trainers iv. Standardization of modules in all PTIs v. Uniformity of Syllabi in all PTIs vi. TOT (Training of Trainers) Courses by incorporating foreign courses modules in promotional courses (Intermediate, Upper and Advance Class Course) Organizational Problems:
i. Shortage of funds.
ii. Security of Training Institutions. iii. Trainees being dispatched for law and order duties. iv. Issue of permanent staff of PTIs and their transfer. v. Officers are not spared for capacity building courses. Remarks:
Training Branch is in direct contact with National Police Bureau (NPB) for engaging foreign agencies for incorporating modern techniques by evolving modules in the syllabi of mandatory and professional courses. However, paucity of resources and sparability of practitioner police officers within the organization, is a big challenge. Only 2.46% of the total budget of Police is allocated for training purpose and out of this meager budget, the major chunk goes to salaries and expenditures on utilities i.e. fuel, electricity and repair/maintenance of the PTIs. Hence, resources are negligible to transform the training institutions into modern establishments. At the same time, officers having required skills, are reluctant to serve in the training institutions.
27 Therefore, to provide professional out look to the police force, resources; human and material is the dire need.

Chapter No. 8
LEGAL AFFAIRS DIVISION, CPO
INTRODUCTION:
FROM LEGAL BRANCH TO THE LEGAL AFFAIRS DIVISION
1. The Police Legal Affairs Division (herein after referred as division) is having its origin for a period of more than 10 decades. Law is the essential base and foundation on which the structure of the state is erected. In fact, law is an integral and significant component for enforcement activity of any police organization. It has its origin since enforcement of rules in British India by way of Punjab Police Rules of 1934. 2. The legal branch became part and parcel of Police organization at the District, Range and the CPO (Central Police Office) level, discharging its prosecutorial advisory, reportive, representational and record management functions in the light of Police Rules. Since decades legal branch is intelligently and diligently assisting the operational field officers, investigation and police prosecution in legal matters discharging inter alia a vide range of legal duties, such as preparing challans and charge sheets, evaluating the available evidence in the court cases before rendering them for trials, producing relevant evidence preparing police briefs for the attorneys and the District Courts, preparing legal documents for presentation of police organization before various judicial forums in the form of petitions, suits and other service matters besides that the legal branch also keep track of convictions and appeals apart from the maintenance of record and registers on production and convictions. It also provides legal opinions as and when required by the officers of police.
1. OBJECT OF CREATION OF LEGAL AFFAIRS DIVISION: The Punjab Government in 2006 felt it expedient to reorganize legal branch to establish independent prosecution service for the prosecution of criminal cases in Province through enacting the Punjab Criminal Prosecution Service (Constitution, functions and powers) Act, 2006. 2. CREATION OF THE LEGAL AFFAIRS DIVISION: The Punjab Government established independent Legal Affairs Division in the province of Punjab for the prosecution and defence e of criminal cases before the courts of law in the province. The Government enacted the Provincial Legislative Act, which led creation of the Punjab Criminal Prosecution Service (PCPS). Prior to enactment of prosecution Act, 2006, the legal branch of the Punjab Police department directly prosecuted the criminal cases before the courts of law. Now, after the enactment of criminal prosecution Act 2006, the prosecutorial functions are transferred to the prosecution department from Punjab Police. In 2006, the Provincial Police Officer (PPO)
38 Inspector General of Police, Mr. Zia-ul-Hassan Khan moved a summary for the creation of Legal Affairs Division through re-structuring of legal Branch. Mr. Zia-ul-Hassan the then Inspector General of Police observed: “Article 8(2) (q) of the Police Order, 2002 visualizes organization of Police on functional basis that, inter alia, includes “Legal Affairs”. In this age of specialization, complex legal issues which are being faced by the police officers every day especially at no legal background and little knowledge of law, the police functionaries need to have assistance of legal experts in discharge of their duties. Every police action is scrutinized by the judiciary either by exercising the powers of judicial review of plenary powers under Criminal Procedure Code.”
The IGP emphasized the creation of LAD (Legal Affairs Division) for better productivity, promotion of efficiency in the interest of the department and to implement the police Order 2002, in letter and spirit. Actually the litigation has distinctly increased in shape of criminal cases, civil suits and service matters. There is an acute shortage of law officers in the department as the already insufficient officers are also deployed for legal assistance to the new areas such as some selected Police Stations, Sub Divisions, FIR Registration Centers and Police Training Institutions, to develop the quality of the legal concept of police function. Following was the strength of the proposed division: Position / Rank Number DIG/Legal 01 SSP/Legal 02 SP/Legal 14 DSP/Legal 160 Inspector/Legal 459
Part of this re-organization was the creation of a „Legal Cell‟ at the CPO, to be headed by an officer of the rank of a DIG with the following duties: a. To advise the IGP/PPO on all legal matter matters; b. To provide legal support to other Staff Officers of the PPO; c. To deal with litigation at the level of Supreme Court, High Courts, PST, Ombudsman, Civil Courts & Criminal Courts of law; d. To deal with all legal references received from other offices; e. To represent the IGP/PPO before the Courts; f. To supervise, on behalf of the PPO, the working of the Legal Affairs Bureau/Division; g. Comments vetting and legal opinion; h. Matter relating to Missing persons; i. To brief the Law Officers and to appear on behalf of IGP etc before the Courts of law to defend and prosecute the cause of the department; Due to shortage of law officers in the Punjab Police department, the department is facing gigantesque difficulties and handicapped to defend and prosecute efficiently to the cause of the department before the courts of law.
39 3. STRUCTURE OF THE DIVISION AT THE CPO: Under the leadership of the Addl. IGP/Legal, the LAD component at the CPO is structured along functional lines: a. The office of the Addl. IGP/Legal, advising directly on the most important legal issues involving departmental policy matters as well as the most sensitive cases such as the cases of missing persons;
b. The Human Rights Cell (HRC) cell, dealing exclusively with cases before the Supreme Court of Pakistan (SC), in its capacity as the protector of the fundamental/human rights granted by the Constitution of Pakistan;
c. Lahore High Court (LHC) cell, dealing with writ petitions and other cases pending before the LHC;
d. Punjab Service Tribunal (PST) cell, dealing with cases and appeals pending before the PST, and
e. Miscellaneous Cell, taking up all other matters upon the direction of the Addl. IGP/Legal requiring legal advice and assistance.

4. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE LEGAL AFFAIRS DIVISION: The duties and responsibilities of the Legal Affairs Division include advising and assisting the IGP on legal matters as well as on policy matters and provide legal advice and legal opinion, in legal matters to the filed officers as well to all the senior and junior Police Officers, as and when they need legal advice or opinion in any legal matters. One of the most important duties of the Legal Affairs Division is to assist the IGP in interpreting law and to liaison with Research and Development branch for further developing and proposing amendments to the rules as and when required. 5. MATTERS PENDING BEFORE THE SUPERIOR JUDICIARY: The great responsibilities of the LAD are that to prepare comments, responses representations, reports and the same to be filed/submitted before the superior judiciary such as the Apex Court and the Hon‟ble High Courts. LAD is also responsible to file review petitions and appeals before the superior judiciary against the judicial orders and judgments. This is also one of the most important duty of the LAD to file comments and reports to the Hon‟ble Apex Court in Human Rights cases. The following table gives some workload just in one category of cases pending before Hon‟ble Supreme Court of Pakistan in Human Rights Cases yearly. Human Rights Replies Cases Under Year Cases Received Submitted process 2014 2876 2842 34 2015 1892 1740 152
6. HIGH COURTS: The cases are fixed before the Hon‟ble High Courts on daily basis, and we have only one SP/Legal, one DSP/Legal and five Inspectors/Legal, who are representing our department. Hon‟ble High Courts of and on direct the department that the law officers must not be blow BPS-17 i.e. DSP Legal to appear before the High Courts. Approximately 5 to 10 cases are fixed before the different Hon‟ble judges of the High Courts on daily basis and we have only one SP Legal who is available to appear before the High Courts on daily basis. Due to shortage of law officers as required by the Hon‟ble High Courts this is very difficult for LAD to defend the cases effectively before the Hon‟ble High Courts. In this connection to meet the daily requirements of the Hon‟ble Courts the law officers i.e. Inspectors legal to be deputed to defend the cases before the Hon‟ble High Courts be up-graded without further loss of time. The detail of cases for the years, 2014 and 2015 is given below:
Number of Writ Petitions Filed Year Before the Hon’ble Courts 2014 1359 2015 1153
41 7. CASES BEFORE THE PUNJAB SERVICE TRIBUNAL: The Punjab Service Tribunal is the judicial forum where the police officers/employees file appeals against the orders of the departmental appellate authorities. Sometimes the officers/employees file appeals against the orders of the IGP or other competent authorities before learned PST to claim promotions. The Legal Affairs Division defends such cases before this important forum, which in fact is the next higher authority of the departmental authorities. The learned PST after hearing both the parties passes the judgment/order. If the judgment is against the department, then it is critically examined by the Legal Affairs Division for availing of further remedy by way of petition of leave to appeal in the Hon‟ble Apex Court. This advice is subject to approval of Addl. IGP. In case the Legal Affairs Division proposes not to avail further remedy before the Apex Court then the matter is referred to Addl. IGP or quarters concerned with intimation to implement the judgment of the learned PST. The following table reflects the quantum of work with respect to PST. Number of Appeals Filed Before the Year PST 2014 705 2015 637
Approximately 800 appeals are pending before the learned PST and round about 20 to 30 appeals are fixed for hearing on daily basis. Due to shortage of law officers in LAD this is very difficult for LAD to defend effectively before the PST on daily basis. Only one DSP Legal is appointed to defend the cases before learned PST. Of course due to shortage of law officers the efficiency may be hampered in the effective defence of the cause of the department before the learned PST. 8. COURTS OF SESSIONS AND LOWER COURTS: The criminal courts call the investigators with police investigation record and material evidence. Learned Sessions Courts and Subordinate Criminal Courts pass certain directions to the police department. In response the LAD after examining the same purports advice to implement the orders of criminal courts. Sometimes criminal courts pass direction to the police department to take legal as well as departmental action against delinquent police officers/official. In this connection the LAD imparts advice to the concerned authority to take legal action against the delinquent police officials to be dealt in accordance with law.
9. CIVIL COURTS: Civil suits are filed against the police department in Civil Courts. In many civil suits comments and reports are received from Districts and Regions which are vetted by the Division. Written statements are signed by LAD through Addl. IGP/Legal and file before the Civil Courts. LAD is not only representing IGP but also appear on behalf of the other police officers. The following table lists the number and status of such cases.
42 Civil Suits Year Status Pending Received 2014 42 Replies submitted Nil 2015 55 Replies submitted Nil
10. TRANSFER OF THE ACCUSED PERSONS AND CASE PROPERTY: The Districts and Regions some time request to IGP for transfer of accused persons and case properties from one province to other province including AJK & Islamabad. In this connection the LAD has liaison with Home Department as well as Federal Ministry of Interior in leading cases of Missing Persons. The annual report is below:
Cases of Transfer Year Status Pending Received 2014 658 Replies submitted Nil 2015 610 Replies submitted Nil
11. EXTRADITION CASES:
The LAD has liaison with Home Department as well as with the Federal Ministry of Interior in leading cases of Extradition of accused persons and proclaimed offenders wanted by the Punjab Police. The Following table details are as under;
Extradition Cases Year Status Pending Received 2014 158 Replies submitted Nil 2015 150 Replies submitted Nil
12. LEGAL OPINION AND ADVICE: Legal opinion and advice is the key responsibility of LAD. In this regard LAD receives references from the IGP, Addl: IGPs, DIGs, AIGs in the CPO as well as from Districts and Regions. They seek opinion, advice and interpreting laws in the matters related to police organization. The LAD receives in hundreds the references from different units of police per year. The Division is also involve in proposing developing and framing amendments to the Police Rules.
13. CASES OF MISSING PERSONS: LAD is dealing with cases of missing persons. Addl.IGP/Legal is the head of the LAD and focal person in these matters within CPO, representing IGP at the hearings and meetings of Commission and with Home Secretary on behalf of IGP and correspondence with Commission and field officers and Home Secretary. Missing Person Cases are pending before Hon‟ble Supreme Court of Pakistan. Some time Apex Court directs the police department for the production of detenues. The department has to comply with the directions of the Hon‟ble Supreme Court of Pakistan. 14. HUMAN AND MATERIAL PRSOURCES AVAILABLE:

MINISTERIAL STAFF: Position OS PS Asstt: Steno SC JC Daftari NQ Total Posted 1 1 3 4 2 5 1 1 18
15. CHALLENGES: The Division is facing multiple challenges to its proper functioning at this moment. They come from a host of factors: the work culture, quantum of work, inadequate capacity and limited resources. The issues of organization and communication are equally important. a) QUANTUM OF WORK AND LIMITED SOURCES: Most of the challenges inventoried under “A” above come from the fact that there is no match between the quantum of work the Division has on its table and the resources available to it. The quality of work is suffering simply because of non-availability of adequate capacity. Just to give an example, if there are 20 cases listed on a given day before the “PST” and the Division has just one DSP representing the organization, and preparing comments and reports for those cases, then the quality of such representation and preparation of our legal position is not hard to guess! The Hon‟ble High Court usually requires gazetted legal officers fully conversant with the fact of a sub-judice case to attend the proceedings and produce relevant record. There have been cases, where one-sided orders have been issued in writ–petitions for lack of adequate representation. A proper representation is impossible to achieve without enhancing the capacity of the Division by increasing the numbers of the gazetted legal officers at the CPO. The Division, shouldering one of the key responsibilities of the CPO needs to be upgraded as soon as possible. b) WORK CULTURE: Legal Branch, despite huge significance of its work, has received lesser attention in items of organization and capacity building than the operational policing. Decades of practice have crystallized a bit of a laid-back attitude and a culture of mechanical functioning without proper and clear goal-setting to be pursued proactively. The mode of working has become defensive be it the internal organizational matters or issues in litigation. This is evinced by the fact that it has adopted a general attitude of compliance of the judicial orders without debating their merits, mostly not exercising its legal right of filling timely and well-reasoned appeals. Consequently, our appeal activity is limited and leaves much to be desired in terms of quality. Being the legal face and voice of the Punjab Police, the Division needs to act with greater independence, responsibility and pro- activity constantly reviewing the laws, rules and procedures governing the police function in the province, and developing proposals for keeping the rules updated in the light of changes taking place in the realm of policing.
16. WORKING/OFFICE SPACE: The staff of the Division, already short in strength, is also facing an acute shortage in terms of office space, and work stations. Office space and equipment being the most basic paraphernalia for any serious work has become a challenge.
17. NON-AVAILABILITY OF LEGAL LITERATURE: There is a great paucity of relevant legal literature available to the legal staff which makes it hard for them to keep abreast of the latest legal knowledge to meet with the modern and latest positions
44 to be taken in the courts. This impinges on the quality of their products and reduces their ability to act and perform fully, and in a timely manner.

INVESTIGATION
The investigation branch Punjab is the premier investigating agency of the police department, which carries out investigation of complicated, high profile and contested cases. Its job is specialized one which requires expertise, professional commitment, devotion and a lot of hard work. It also collects the crime statistics from all the field formations of the province. All the collected data is analyzed and its reports are disseminated on incidence, detection and prosecution of criminal cases. The branch studies modus operandi adopted by the criminals and coordinates inter-district and inter-province preventive and detective efforts and strategies. Investigation Branch has also published “Black Book” for the year 2008 & 2014 containing bio-data of most wanted Proclaimed Offenders after a thorough analysis of crime history of these fugitives of law. Investigation Branch sends recommendation to the Government of the Punjab for notification of head money for the arrest of these out-laws. This branch is also responsible for distribution of head money to the deserving police officers. A Finger Print Bureau, which has the largest collection of finger print records in the country also functions under this branch. The Branch dates back its history in the erstwhile Criminal Investigation Department (CID), founded in 1935. The CID ceased to exist in 1953. It was then split into Crimes Branch and Special Branch. The Crime Branch Punjab was re-structured as Investigation Branch Punjab, headed by an Additional-Inspector General of Police, in its present form, after the promulgation of Police Order 2002. Presently, DIG/Crimes is looking after both monitoring/analysis of crime as well as investigation of cases entrusted to different officers of Provincial Investigation Branch. Investigations of different contested cases are entrusted to the investigation branch after third change of investigation is ordered by the Inspector General of Police, Punjab. Such changes of investigation are ordered on the recommendation of Provincial Standing Board comprising the DIG/Investigation and two senior most Superintendents of Police posted in Investigation Branch, Punjab. SSP/Monitoring & Crime Analysis supervises the working of Provincial Criminal Record Office (CRO), Monitoring Section, Complaint Cell, Press Section, ATA Section, and Statistical Office. On the other hand, Finger Print Bureau and Fire Arm Bureau are supervised by SSP/Administration. The Additional Inspector-General of Police Investigation, being head of the Investigation Branch supervises the administration and function of the branch. On the investigation side Addl: IGP/Investigation is assisted by DIG/Investigation, 05-SSsP / SSP, DSP/Legal and 08-DSsP/Investigation. Complaint Cell is also functioning in the Investigation Branch, Punjab to redress the grievances of general public. On the crime side, Addl: IGP/Investigation is assisted by DIG/Crimes, SSP/Administration, SSP/Monitoring, SSP/Crime Analysis, 2-DSsP and Statistical Officer. Criminal Record Office (CRO) and Finger Print Bureau also work under the supervision of DIG/Crimes.
55 In the nearer future Investigation Branch is working on the development of online Data Base System where all the crime figures will be received through a computerize web base system and the daily, weekly, fortnightly and monthly crime statistics would be readily available. This online system would also collect the other important information regarding the investigation including arrest of accused, proclaimed offenders, court absconders and submission of challans etc. This information would also help to analyze the performance of the police station staff and other concerned officers. The Investigation Branch is also working to analyze the availability of cost of investigation and to see that whether the present cost of investigation provided for each head of crime is sufficient to investigate the case. The proposal has been prepared and sent to the field officers for their comments and input. Soon, the proposal would be finalized and be presented before the Inspector General of Police Punjab for approval. Recently, the Investigation Branch has also started monitoring of Regional Investigation Branches to see the progress of cases of investigation as a 2nd change. The Investigation Branch is also preparing and disseminating the guidelines for the field officers and field units regarding the investigation of the cases. The Investigation Branch deals with the change and conduct of investigations. During the year 2013, for 3rd change of investigation, 256 cases were processed out of which 69 were recommended for change of investigation, whereas 185 were not recommended. During the year 2014, 3rd change of investigation, 138 cases were processed out of which 53 were recommended for change of investigation whereas 85 were not recommended.

The Punjab police are conscious of the fact that there is no room for traditional methods of investigation in the 21st century. Hence, efforts are being made to train police officers on modern lines and provide them the state of the art training. The following areas being focused under this program need special mention: - 61 a. Homicide Investigation Units have been established in all over Punjab to investigate heinous crime. b. Specialized courses are being run for the investigation staff. c. Police officers are being trained to use of scientific methods to collect material evidence in order to ensure effective prosecution. d. Investigation staff has been provided new investigation kits in order to achieve the objective of scientific investigation. e. State of the art forensic laboratory is being established which will be equipped with the latest testing facilities. f. Police records are being computerized and linkages are being developed among all districts and police stations in the Punjab. This will help store and retrieve the requisite data in an expeditious manner.
Consolidation Conduct of investigation is a specialized job and investigation branch Punjab, being the prime investigation agency, is well aware of this fact. Therefore, professional and dedicated police officers are posted here who could dispense justice. During the year 2014 the investigation branch Punjab showed considerable improvement in its working but room for improvement is always there. Keeping in view the present threat of the terrorism in the country, every law enforcement agency has to bring long lasting reforms in its rank and file to combat this menace. Punjab police is facing this challenge bravely and with professional commitment. Investigation branch Punjab is trying to enhance the standard of investigation so that the culprits may be brought to justice. For this purpose special modules have been introduced in the training institutions. The capability of police to investigate complicated cases of terrorism is improving. During the year, crime rate showed some increase as compared to the previous year but every challenge opens a window of opportunity as well. Modern investigating equipments are being introduced in the Punjab police to cope with this problem. Investigation branch Punjab is striving to achieve the level of professional competence which could meet the challenges of the modern times. Crime Analysis 2014
Taking a bird‟s eye view of the crime figures pertaining to 2014, it is clear that the total reported crime decreased by 1378 cases as compared to 2013. It comes out to be 0%. In heinous offences, increase of 3% in Att: Murder, 5% in Rapes, 36% in Gang Rapes and 7% in Robberies while decrease of 3% in Kidnapping, 31% in Kidnapping for Ransom have been witnessed in 2014 as compared to 2013.
62 The terrorism and the resulting security requirements overwhelmingly consumed the attention and resources of the police in 2014. It witnessed decrease of 24% as compared to the last year. The relevant figures are cited as under:
Killed. Injured. Year Case Registered. Terrorist. Police Civilians. Police Civilians 2014 49 1 4 55 6 185 2013 39 4 94 18 192 Despite the onslaught of terrorist incidents and subsequent deployment in security related measures, the police kept on pursuing the cases in courts. Over all Conviction Rate remained 55% during the year 2011 (Murders 30%, Dacoities 23%, Robberies 27% & Kidnappings for Ransom 18%), as compared to 52% during the last year (Murders 33%, Dacoities 22%, Robberies 30% & Kidnappings for Ransom 26%). It means that investigations and pursuance of cases in the courts were affected by the terrorism infested environment. The police incessantly worked despite the martyrdom of their brother officers.
The Punjab Police never lost sight of the measures required for the apprehension of proclaimed offenders and court absconders, etc. They are considered the lurking danger for the society and potential threat for further commission of crime. Total 98259 POs were arrested during 2011 and 75257 are still at large. Out of total POs arrested, 5592 were of Murders, 4154 of Dacoities, 5801 of Robberies and 347 of Kidnappings for Ransom.
The incidence of crime is a socioeconomic phenomenon and duly affected by the factors contributory to the societal fabric like population growth, economic deterioration and unemployment, etc. The performance of these factors has been reflected in the official statistics as less than optimal. The situation is further aggravated by the upsurge in terrorism and onset of natural calamities like floods.
Despite an array of odds affecting the performance, the Punjab Police is working hard to control crime and provide security. To deal with the situation a comprehensive strategy has been adopted and continuous adjustments and revisions are being made through research, analysis and consultations. Some of the important ingredients of the strategy are free registration of cases, expeditious investigations, arrest of proclaimed offenders/court absconders and vigorous prosecutions. The capacity building and accountability of the officers are also being taken care of appropriately.

PUNJAB HIGHWAY PATROL
The formation of Punjab Highway Patrol as part of the Police unit envisaged and ultimately brought into reality in 2005 with the singularly defined task of conducting all kinds of crimes on the highways. These highways of the provincial government were entirely neglected and the commuters using these road networks were also left completely unprotected and without any policing support. 2. The Punjab Highway Patrol was established to ensure safety to the commuting citizens and also to provide various help for example providing first aid and evacuation of people in case of accidents and to those commuters stranded on the road sides due to various reasons. The general behavior and outlook towards the citizens was clearly defined for the force in the form of mission statement, values and further elaborated in the charter of duties and in various Standing Operating Procedures. These sets of values were fully inculcated into the force through constant process of training originating in their initial basic courses and further short courses hence the prime task and the peculiarity of the force stood out amongst all the police units with their better set of values and good conduct. 3. The constant process of accountability and analysis with regards to the conduct and efficiency of the force has been constantly monitored through collection of variety of data both criminal and in the form of services being provided to the public. This has helped the PHP command to monitor the efficiency and performance of the PHP force and rectify shortcomings, if any, in the performance of duties. The establishment of the PHP Police was taken up by the provincial government as a project with total number of 522 Patrolling Posts all over the Punjab and its phased development to be completed within a span of 5 years. Presently 343 Patrolling Posts are completed and operational, 04 PHP Posts are under construction while 175 Posts of phase-II are yet to be constructed. 4. The figures 2014 indicate the level of crime under various heads in the area of responsibility:- Arms Ord. Narcotics PPC Others Total 13/20/65 3/4 (PEHO) 9 CNSA 1075 423 369 108 234 2209 5. The general performance of the PHP under various other heads in the form of helps has been constantly improving commensurate to the increase in number of Patrolling Posts and efficiency of the PHP personnel: - 1st Aid Accident Lost Removal of Misc. helps Average No. of provided handled Children Encroachments Helps per day Found 8073 3040 361 4367 171354 476
6. The PHP posts singularly contributed in apprehending a large number of Proclaimed Offenders, Court Absconders & others hence supporting the District Police in maintaining law & order and
64 combating crime which has been widely acclaimed by the respective District Police Officers & Regional Police Officers at various occasions for excellent work being carried out by this force: P.Os Absconders Others Total 63 10 2327 2400
7. The number of serious offences taking place on the highways in the form of dacoities/ robberies decreases in the jurisdiction of the PHP and also prove the effectiveness of the force which has helped in either aborting/foiling or responding to such like crimes which otherwise were being either entirely overlooked or were not being reported hence has also helped in reducing the level of burking within the Police force. 8. The detail of arms recovered by the Patrolling Police in the year 2014 are as under: - Kalashnikovs Rifles Guns/Carbines Pistols/Revolvers Total 13 31 61 284 389 9. Literacy level within the PHP force is reflective of the quality intake of human resource as compared to other Police units. This aspect has helped the PHP in improving its public image and quality of performance both in the dissemination of services and efficient performance of its field duties. However highly qualified force performing function not commensurate to their stature has resulted into a large number of PHP officials opting to go for better jobs hence shortage of large number of manpower in the ranks of Constable and also other ranks. 10. Another negative aspect of the intake of highly qualified Constables has resulted into large number of Constables wanting to serve in the offices opting for staff jobs and another large proportion amongst the PHP Constables persistently wanting to continue and further improve upon their academic qualifications hence frequent requests for long leave and permission for admissions into various universities both within the country and abroad. 11. The positive aspect that has been observed after intake of this new qualified manpower are that there is hardly any complaint regarding corruption within the force and the general attitude and behaviour as observed since the inception of this unit is that of courtesy and respect. This is more so due to the fact that a very large number of these officials are from respectable middle or lower middle class families who can live well within their means. The break up of PHP official as per their qualifications is as follows: -
RANK PHD/ MA/MSC BA/BSC LLB F.A TOTAL M. PHIL ASI 0 78 134 08 43 263 H/Constable 01 275 499 20 257 1051 Constables 06 895 3192 51 2407 6545 D/Constable 0 45 247 01 462 755
65 Total 7 1293 4072 80 3169 8614
12. The PHP although has been facing constant and persistent shortage of Upper Subordinates both in the rank of ASI and the Sub-Inspector. These ranks which were to manage and command at the Post level, make shift arrangements had to be made and full use of available Upper Subordinates in the rank of ASIs were posted as In-charge Posts and in cases the senior most Constables who had gone through „A‟ & „B1‟ exams included few of those who had completed their Lower Class Course were posted as In- charge Shift hence also getting experience and inculcating responsibility to the PHP force.

83 constables working in these districts/units are at a disadvantage so far as their promotions prospects are concerned. In order to streamline the career planning of driver constables through out Punjab creation of a separate cadre for driver constables in Punjab Police is very important and this task is being undertaken. ii It is proposed that there should be relaxation in physical standard for recruitment of Mechanic Constables in M.T Wing Punjab.

Moreover, a candidate who is desirous to be recruited as Constable Mechanic in M.T Wing Punjab should possess Technical/Mechanical Training Certificate from NEVTEC.

86 4. SOME OF THE INITIATIVES / SPECIAL MEASURES TAKEN BY THE PUNJAB TRAFFIC POLICE ARE AS UNDER:- a) CHANGE OF FOCUS – HELPING THE PEOPLE
Needless to say, documents checking and document related challans remained the emphasis and focus of the traffic police officers in the past. This mindset was changed in the last few years. Traffic police was asked to change its focus and concentration from documents checking to checking of moving violations. Similarly, through motivation and constant briefings, attitude and behavior of the traffic police was changed and concept of service, courtesy and help to the public were inculcated in them. The change of behaviour and attitude on the part of traffic police has been acknowledged and appreciated by all and sundry. In addition, the traffic staff was directed to keep an eye on law and order situated, road crime and criminals and assist district police in such situations. The impetus of crime fighting in the traffic staff resulted in a number of foiled attempts of street crimes due to alertness of traffic police. The traffic police staff contributed a lot and foiled a number of murderous attempts, vehicle lifting/snatching and road robberies during 2014. b) TRAFFIC EDUCATION AND AWARENESS Traffic education and awareness remained one of the top priorities of the Punjab traffic police. A comprehensive programme, was prepared by the traffic Hqrs. for this purpose. Under this programme several campaigns and activities were launched from time to time throughout the province. This multi-dimensional programme involved electronic, print and public media.

INTRODUCTION OF MODERN TECHNOLOGIES IN TRAFFIC EDUCATION AND AWARENESS.
87
The Punjab Traffic Police has started an innovative and comprehensive integrated awareness system for educating the road users as part of its commitment to reach every citizen by any available means to attract his attention towards the traffic rules and regulations. United Team Network Technologies (UTNT) has joined hands with the Punjab Traffic Police in this public interest project. The programme has been named as Road and Street Traffic Awareness (RASTA). In order to transform the idea into reality, the Punjab Traffic Police has signed an agreement with United Team Network Technologies (UTNT) for a period of 10 years. The RASTA project will comprise of the following components. Additional components may be added later: . Localized FM channel for all big cities in the Province. . CCTV cameras connected with the main control room watching the traffic situation in the city. . Led displays with variable Messaging System (VMS) for updating the motorists on traffic situation. . Traffic Call Centre with SMS and direct telephone hot lines to guide road users by phone/SMS. . Live and dynamic website on information about traffic, transport, traffic police, traffic laws/rules, driving licence etc. . Speed checking radars and balloons equipped with traffic cameras to check traffic violations in target areas. . Cable channel and satellite TV for traffic affairs and issues.
6. PLAN FOR MOVING TOWARDS E-POLICING:-
Use of modern gadgetry, CCTV Cameras on important roads/key
intersections/choke points for real time monitoring of traffic flow, duty performance as well as
recording of incidents/mishaps, is the need of the time.
DETAILED PLAN FOR E-POLICING:-
Traffic Police Punjab intends to gradually introduce e-challaning which will provide
digital information about challans, type of violations, habitual violators, data of accidents & its
analysis. Challaning officers will be provided PDAs instead of challan books. The challaning officer
will enter particulars of the violators/vehicles and violation committed which will be automatically
recorded in the central data computer. E-challaning will provide vide range of information about
common violations, weak areas, accident frequency, accident vulnerable areas for further analysis and
for implementing strategies to improve overall traffic discipline in the Punjab province.
REQUIREMENT IN TERMS OF MEN, MATERIAL & EQUIPMENT FOR E- POLICING:
88 In order to introduce e-policing both at administrative & operation level, additional requirement of men, material & equipment will be needed. In this regard Traffic Headquarters Punjab has already moved SNE for the provision of these items vide letter Nos. 479/Nazar dated 05-01-2012 and 30710/Acctt: dated 02-10-2012.

SPECIAL BRANCH, PUNJAB
INTRODUCTION: Foundation of Special Branch, Punjab was laid down by the British Government in 1835 with the creation of Anti-Thaggi and Dakaity Department in British India with Sir William Saleeman as it first General Superintendent. Thugs were involved in various criminal activities across the country. So it was the need of the day that there should be a central department to eliminate thugs. In 1857, when British conquered whole of India, they thought it necessary to have a check on anti British organizations. So this department was also tasked to keep an eye on such organizations and collect necessary information about their activities and members. In 1877 the department was given the additional duty of collecting secret and political intelligence. In 1887, Special Branch of Police was established in each province with the order of Viceroy of India. Its main duty was to collect secret information about the various anti British organizations and to inform the concerned authorities. It was further tasked to have a watch on sectarian problems, illegal trade, movement of foreigners, movement of suspects and holders of illicit arms. In 1907, Fraser Commission recommended to establish a new department under the name of Criminal Investigation Department. First, the department was established in 1907 at Federal level and its head was designated as Director. In 1908, CID was established in each province and Special Branch was merged with CID. Mr. Wallace was appointed as first Director of CID Punjab. Its charter of duties was notified in 1915 in the form of a manual called CID Manual. However after the amalgamation of Special Branch into CID, its further reorganization was carried out. Railways and Crimes Branch were also attached with it and its head was re-designated as DIG. This new set-up was made to collect criminal and political intelligence and also deal with the crimes of special nature. Duties of Criminal Investigation Department were notified as following:-
i) To promote co-ordination among the Police of different districts and different provinces. ii) To watch and report on all religious and political movements affecting the province and India as a whole and to maintain close co-operation with district authorities. iii) To scrutinize the publications of the vernacular press and all Indian owned newspapers and printing presses. iv) To check crime by the prompt publication of information of any incident in the CID Gazette. a) Arrest of criminals. b) To trace and recover the stolen property. c) To collect information and prepare intelligence reports to assist District Police in their work. v) To undertake the investigation of following cases:- a) Currency note forgery cases. b) Counterfeit coining cases. c) Cases of professional poisoning. d) Theft of Government arms and ammunition. 94 e) Trade of illicit arms. f) Important cases in which the foreigners were involved. g) Extensive frauds and floating bogus companies. h) Cases of dacoity concerning more than one district, house breaking, thefts extending beyond the limits of one district. i) Trafficking in women.
It is noteworthy that it was clearly mentioned in the orders that this department was created to assist the district Police and was not given any supervising authority.
Bifurcation of CID CID was bifurcated in 1955 into two independent branches, viz: Special Branch and Crime Branch, because of ONE UNIT. It was felt that one DIG CID was not enough for the whole province of West Pakistan to deal with Political Intelligence and Criminal Investigation simultaneously. Crime Branch was put under the control of a Deputy Inspector General of Police. Special Branch was assigned collection of information about socio-political activities and Crime Branch was made responsible for investigation of crime on scientific lines. In 1976, post of DIG Special Branch was upgraded to Additional Inspector General of Police. Two posts of DIG were created to hold the portfolios of Intelligence and Security of VIPs and sensitive installations in 1980 and 1986 respectively. The influx of Afghan refugees after occupation of Afghanistan in 1979, brought a flood of sophisticated weapons and narcotics. This gave birth to many subversive and terrorist activities in Punjab. In order to counter the situation, a Cell under the control of a DIG was created in Special Branch with the name of Anti Terrorist Cell in 1987. In the year 1987, Research & Reference Cell under the control of a Director was established in Special Branch. In 2004 Special Branch was re-organized and further expanded upto Police Station level. Presently Special Branch, Punjab is headquartered at Robert Club, Church Road, Lahore with ten regional offices. Each regional office is headed by an officer of the rank of (Senior) Superintendent of Police. Following are the regional offices of Special Branch, Punjab: 1. Lahore Region 2. Sheikhupura Region 3.

120 Chapter No. 19 REFORMS IN PUNJAB POLICE i) Background of Police Reforms An MOU between Pak-Turk Governments on Security Cooperation and Reforms regarding implementation of Protocol of Cooperation was signed and a Core Committee under the chairmanship of Minister for Environment was constituted on 08.10.2013 by the worthy Chief Minister Punjab for implementation. Within the framework of this cooperation, a Turkish Police Team reached Pakistan in 2013 and as per their mandate, ten (10) working groups were constituted for the purpose which later were re-notified by the worthy IGP into the following seven (07) groups:- 1. Police Station (Citizen Centric Policing & Basic Police Behaviour) 2. Human Resource Management & Institutional Performance 3. Use of technologies, PPIC3 & Computerization of Police 4. Crime Prevention, Patrol, Dolphins project and Anti-Riot Systems 5. Counter Terrorism and Special Operations 6. Traffic Management 7. Criminal Investigation &Witness Protection The Turkish Police Officers gave the vision of Turkish Police Model in their briefings to the working groups. They also got prepared the reports regarding the existing Punjab Police system and structure within the ambit of these working groups. After studying these reports, they proposed to the government of the Punjab that the regional, districts and unit heads along-with their teams may be sent to Turkey to get the vision of Turkish model, hence the proposal. Although the basic policing structure and constitutional systems are not identical in both the countries; however, tremendous similarities exist in terms of cultural, socio-economic and professional challenges. The most importantly, transformation of Turkish National Police from aprimitive and unorganized policing unit into a very highly professional, competent and efficient police force, interests Pakistan the most. The authorities in Punjab would like to study the process of this transformation and apply these principles to bring about much needed change in our policing system. The lessons learnt from the evolution of Turkish National Police Model can certainly help Punjab Police in the enhancement of its core values and improvement in its operational and administrative effectiveness. Hence, it is important that heads of its operational, administrative and specialized units visit their corresponding units in Turkish National Police and study the relevant issues to formulate a strategy forthe application of principles picked up from the Turkish Police Model.
ii. Human Resources Policy (placement, emoluments, security of Tenure) The Turkish National Police officers have advised on Human Resources Policy for MasterTrainers (TOT) trained from Turkey as given below:- No. TOT Course No. of TOT Posting / Emoluments Security of Tenure Placement Recommended Minimum 1.

Notification of Police Reforms & Foreign Relations Department (PR&FR)
121 Research &Police Reforms Group (RPRG) is already workingat Central Police Office Punjab in collaboration with Turkish Advisory Group with no permanent organizationalstructure. At present there is no Foreign/International Relations Unit in Punjab Policeto interact and plan trainings and reform programmes with the foreign visiting delegations, UNO and INTERPOL.Therefore, in order to maintain a permanent forum / unit in Punjab Police for the above purpose, Research & Police Reforms Group (RPRG) needs to be notified. However, keeping all the requirements in view and after due deliberations with Turkish Advisors a draft for the notification of the new unit named as Police Reforms & Foreign Relation Department is prepared and submitted to the Government of Punjab for issuance of notification. iv. Re-organization of Anti Rioting force A separate working group “Crime Prevention, Patrol and Anti-Riot System” as notified by the Worthy IGP has already been established which is working on the re-organization of Anti-Riot System with the help of Turkish National Police Officers. SSP TNP has prepared a draft for establishment of Riot Police Unit in Lahore as Polite project and can be extended to other districts as per their requirement. Furthermore, he is preparing a presentation for IGP and after approval, the said unit will be established and officials will be trained by the TNP officers accordingly. ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS Existing Riot Police Force (Punjab Constabulary) is mainly dealing with security & guard duties and other miscellaneous duties rather than riot policing PC is a barrowing agency in which junior rank officers are deployed from districts for two years Not fully anti-riot policing structure, training and equipment Reinforcement in following areas are needed: . Administrative and Operational Structure . Training . Logistics (TNP Security Department will provide guidance and advice in all of the above areas.)
PLAN OF ACTION - 1 Administrative and Operational Structure . Anti-Riot function of PC will be strengthen through a branch structure . District Security unit will be introduced within PC for on-site information gathering and negotiations . Command structure will be enhanced (PC higher ranked personnel will command their team under the coordination of DIG Operations) . New recruits are to be inducted directly from the basic training for at least three years of service . A more coordinated intervention structure will be introduced similar to Turkey (Various units operate on the field in a coordinated manner
DIG SSP SSP Riot SSP SSP SP SSP SSP CT Intelligenc SSP IC3 SP CSI SHO Security Police Special e Traffic Photo Ops
PLAN OF ACTION - 2 Training Following personnel will be trained by the Turkish trainers in September and October before Muharrem . 25 Pakistani trainers will be trained in Turkey as master trainers in August . 1100 for Lahore (100 women officer) One battalion . 1100 for Rawalpindi (100 women officer) One battalion . Battalions should take tactical in-service training on a regular basis Content of the Riot Policing Training
122 . Tactical training . Equipment training . Tear Gas training . Water Cannon using training . Capturing and handling of suspects v. Establishment of Dolphin Force in Lahore District
INTRODUCTION: Police patrols are accepted as the backbone of the preventive policing. Patrol units have multiple roles. Their first and most accepted role is to provide the public an easy access to the state machinery. Professional conduct of patrol units increases the overall citizen satisfaction towards the state. Their second role is prevention of street crime. Different studies show that smart patrolling based on geographic crime analysis reduces street crime. Finally, their third and very important role is that their presence and visibility on the streets, reduces fear of crime and enhances sense of security in the public. The strongest evidence of police effectiveness in reducing crime and disorder is based on geographically focused police practices. Geographic Information System (GIS), Geographic Positioning System (GPS), Global System of Mobiles (GSM) and Computerized Analytical Tools all together with growing amount of relevant and timely digital information will produced concrete results in combating crime. Dolphin concept of policing has worked successfully in Turkey since 1994. The Dolphins are visible, well equipped and well trained police motorcycle units which patrol all over the city in geographical divided beats under one central command. This gives them flexibility against criminals who also roam the entire city. The Dolphins behave as a wall against the criminals, yet they are very polite towards the citizens. Resultantly, the service has received ample appreciation from the public. The dolphin patrols have become one of the most striking elements in Turkish National Police against street crime. The establishment of Modern Police Units in Lahore Police, inspired by Dolphins Patrol Units in Turkey, will be implemented with a comprehensive approach towards meeting the society‟s expectations from Police through incorporation of the concepts of re-assurance policing, problem oriented policing and community policing under one umbrella.
JUSTIFICATION Government of the Punjab has been taking serious initiatives to modernize the police service in Punjab e.g. establishment of a state-of-the-art Forensic Science Agency (Laboratory) and launching 100 Model Police Stations Project. The Turkish Advisory Police Delegation, together with the newly established Research and Police Reform Group (RPRG) within the Central Police Office-Punjab, has carried out in-depth study on the overall criminal justice system with particular focus on police and policing, since September 2013. The studies carried out by RPRG have shown that policing in Punjab has been practiced according to 19th century colonial rules and the core elements of policing such as forensic lead investigation and specialized patrolling are missing in it . Various experiments tried in the past also could not make any headway as specialized element of policing has been implemented through police stations. The police station centric approach has stifled our imagination to explore and try innovative structures and solutions to the policing issues. RPRG has taken reforming initiative of Punjab Police from a wider and comprehensive perspective, which includes studying and reorganizing every aspect of policing.

vi. Establishment Crime Scene Investigation Units (CSI) PROJECT SCOPE Introducing a Pilot Structure at 2 Divisions of Lahore (Model Town and Cantt) and District Sahiwalto Establish Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) Branch for the Punjab Police Organization, in order to improve the investigation capability of the organization, and therefore serving for higher rate of fair trials within Punjab, by enhancing evidence based prosecution and adjudication of the criminal cases. OBJECTIVES ◦ Introducing a modern service structure model for CSI services for the Punjab Police Organization. ◦ Developing and implementing of Corporate Behavioural Models in accordance with latest technologies, practices and principles of CSI. ◦ Reorganising and raising the standards of CSI services provided by Punjab Police Organization. ◦ Introducing effective training programs and reorganising the training systems of CSI. ◦ Achieving organisational learning practices in the field of CSI.
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION The establishment of the state of the art forensic facility in the form of Punjab Forensic Science Agency (PFSA) by the Punjab Government has made it possible to examine trace evidence and apply advanced scientific methods to produce solid evidence in criminal cases. To fully exploit the tremendous potential thus made available and for its maximum utilization, it has been seen imperative for the Punjab Police to develop and establish CSI units under a complete service structure. These will be specialized units, trained to properly collect forensic evidence from crime scene. In modern criminal investigation, forensic evidence is of key importance for detection of crime and for successful prosecution. The enhanced capacity, thus acquired by the Department shall result in improved and objective investigation practices, which in turn will result in less reliance on traditional malpractices 125 like mistreatment, torture, illegal custody, etc. Such an effective service standards will help improve public satisfaction and the public image of the department, which is necessary to raise the morale and self-esteem of the force. Existing CSI units, in their rudimentary form, have been working in almost all the districts of the Punjab for the last few years. However they neither have the necessary training nor the clear service standards and equipment, required to perform the job in any meaningful way. In current situation, most of the cases, PFSA is not receiving properly lifted evidence to examine, and therefore most of the criminal investigations are to be carried out without properly lifted scientific evidence. As a result, the cases bound to be tried mostly based on witness statements, which is open for bias and other extra-legal factors that may affect the whole process in a negative way. As a result, although Punjab has achieved a great step by establishing one of the best forensic laboratories in the World; because it has not been fully complimented by a complete CSI system, the fundamental goals are still pending; most investigations are not being done on scientific patterns, while cases are still being judged based heavily reliance on eye witness. PREPARATORY INITIATIVES AND ACHIEVEMENTS The Turkish Advisory Police Delegation, together with the newly established Research and Police Reform Group (RPRG) within the Central Police Office-Punjab, has done an in-depth study on the overall policing system, since September 2013. In order to approach the issue from a wider and comprehensive look, and to define the roles, business models, policies, standards, technologies and decision-making criteria for their respective domains, ten working groups were established within the Central Police Office, under the leadership of the Inspector General of Police. One of the specific working groups that had been established was the Working Group for Criminal Investigation, which was led by Addl:IG. Mr.Amlish. The group has conducted a serious of meetings. Considering the current situation the Group has looked for possible steps to change it to the optimal situation. Following the initial efforts, it was decided to establish a subgroup, specifically on the issue of CSI. The subgroup for CSI was established within the Criminal Investigations Reform Group that consists of following members. . Dr. Mustafa Ozguler, DIG (TNP) . Dr. Mehmet Unal, SSP (TNP) . Muhammad NadeemSajid, QA Manager/Forensic Scientist, FTM Unit, (PFSA) . Waqas Hassan, SP/Crimes Analysis, Punjab . Mustafa Hameed Malik, SP/CRO, Lahore The group started working on establishment of a CSI Branch. The question of “how to achieve such a goal?” was a critical one; because in Pakistan, especially within the traffic management field, there had been a tendency of creating new organizations by recruiting new personnel from the market. Although those newly created organizations has been seen relatively successful, especially from the ethical perspective; the research group has diagnosed that, in fact different variables are playing significant role in these success stories; such as better pay, housing, less working hours, better uniform, better service structure, etc. However, CSI is different and it is an inextricable field from investigation function of the Police, whether they are criminal, and organized crime or terrorism cases. Thinking of creating a CSI Unit outside the Police Organization would be creating a new silo that may create unrecoverable gaps within the system. For this very reason, the foremost idea of establishing a CSI Branch within the Police Organization, similar to the structure of the Turkish National Police, has been seen as the best possible option. Most importantly, the organization was exceptionally willing to wage a challenge in this field. The Turkish Advisory Police Delegation was impressed with their willingness and commitment. Based on these considerations and initial efforts, the main goal has become introducing pilot CSI units first, and then to consider further steps, such as establishing full-fledged CSI Branch, Serious Crimes Branch and Organized Crime Branch, in order to bring the investigation wing of the Police Organization to a contemporary level. As a first initiative, Punjab Forensic Science Agency (PFSA) was requested to provide basic training. Once the Agency expressed its full support to the project, a technical team, consisting of RPRG and PFSA
126 experts, was established to develop a CSI Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for the new era. The team was consisting of the following experts: . Dr. Mustafa Ozguler, DIG (TNP) . Khalid MahmoodAfzal, DSP (RPRG) . Muhammad Rashad, Quality Supervisor Crime Scene Investigation, (PFSA) . NadeemSajid, Quality Supervisor Fire arms & Tool Marks, (PFSA) Considering the international manuals and practices, the team came up with a concise and practical SOP, after a two-week long joint study (Appendix – 1). For piloting purposes, two districts of Capital City Police Lahore, Model Town and Cantt, were selected as the pilot districts for a large urban setting, and Sahiwal was selected as the pilot district for a country side and rural setting. Following the initial arrangements, Lahore Police Department provided 30 volunteered police personnel for the first CSI Training. The first CSI training session imparted between the dates 6thJanuary and 24thJanuary 2014, at the PFSA. Upon the conclusion of the first training session, further aspects of the project were studied. Considering the fact that following a criminal incident, most evidence are spoilt during the first response, before the CSI teams arrive. Therefore preservation of the crime scene was of fundamental importance, and that is the job of the first responders. If the first responders do not protect the crime scene properly until the CSI team arrives, than it would be impossible to expect better results from the whole process. For that reason, it was decided that to organize a training for the first responders, not only to prepare the ground for the CSI teams possible to collect the unspoilt evidence, but also to observe the potential of the grass-roots level of Punjab Police Organization. Within these goals and objectives, again with full cooperation among the RPRG, CPO and Lahore Police Department, 120 volunteered police personnel from Model Town District were selected. These first responders, together with the first batch of the newly trained CSI personnel (in total number of 150) were imparted a three day First Responders’ Training at the Police Lines, between 11thFebruary and 13th February 2014, by the Turkish Advisory Team, together with the RPRG experts. In practical part of the training sessions, mock exercises, based on actual cases, were organized in order to observe the effectiveness of the training. The results were absolutely beyond expectations; all of the first responders and the newly trained CSI teams proved their competence in working coherently and effectively, in line with the SOP instructions they were given. It was evidently observed that once SOPs and instructional messages are conveyed properly, police personnel can implement them successfully. Based on the above observations, the Working Group decided to move forward to design the functions of the proposed branch and to continue CSI courses: The second batch, consisting of fifty (50) personnel was imparted CSI course by the PFSA, again through the instrumentality of above-mentioned stake holders‟ coherent join-venture. As a result, so far 80 personnel have received CSI training and 120 personnel received First Response Training.
THE ARCHITECTURE AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT The proposed system will be designed and implemented as follows: In each pilot district, five (5) CSI teams will be assigned. The strength of each team is determined to be ten (10) personnel, eight (8) constables or head constables and two (2) ASIs or SIs. Each unit will work in two groups of five (5) each, four (4) constables or head constables and one (1) SI or ASI, for one complete twenty four hours shift. Each unit will be equipped with CSI kit, wireless and a fully equipped CSI vehicle. Therefore, for three pilot districts, there is a need for total number of CSI trained 150 personnel for the teams. PFSA will provide further training sessions. However, for the long term, the Training Branch of the Police Organization will provide CSI courses at the Police Training Institutes. CSI teams will be functioning in their assigned jurisdictions under the management of division/district level CSI units. On the field however, they will be operating together with the first response teams, which are the patrol units of the districts. Like all other operational teams, CSI teams and patrol units will be
127 functioning under real time directions of Command, Control Communication Centre (IC3 Centre).1 When a crime occurs, first responders will reach out to the scene, and protect the evidence until the CSI team arrives. First responders will hand the scene over to the CSI team, but they will remain responsible for protection and safety, until the release of the scene by the CSI team and/or investigator. Main functions of the divisional level CSI Units will be as follows:
CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION DIVISION IN CHARGE (IP&SI)
Shift Commanders Command & Control Administration & Personnel Bureau
Criminal Evidence IT & Record Managment KM & Performance Logistics Bureau Preservation Bureau Bureau Evaluation Bureau
