NPB acting as a focal point between provincial and federal governments, recommended 45 police personnel in 2012 and 54 in 2013. Cases for 2014 have been forwarded to Government. Data and Research The section periodically collects crime/police related data from provincial police units and prepares monthly crime data summary on the basis of reports received from all provincial police. It also prepares weekly crime situation report of Pakistan for Federal Government i.e. Ministry of Interior. The Section also performs R&D functions under Article 162(4) Police Order 2002.

Lack of data limits accountability, constrain policy development and makes it difficult to monitor individual cases or advocate institutional changes. GCC is a central repository of relevant data on cases of violence against women, and successfully assists policy makers to develop holistic and effective policy to prevent and punish violence against women. 02 Projects Status To augment LEAs operational capabilities, an inclusive technological infrastructure was initiated by Ministry of Interior through National Police Bureau on the following projects: i).

    Human Trafficking and Migrant Smuggling

    Title Page Research and Analysis Centre - a UNODC and FIA Collaboration UNODC's program on illicit trafficking and border management (Sub-Program1) enhances the core capacities of Pakistan's law enforcement agencies to reduce illicit trafficking and manage borders primarily through the provision of specialized training and equipment. Law enforcement agencies struggle to interdict trafficking and smuggling of various kinds and scales, which poses a challenge to the governance, development, and security of the country. In January 2014 a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between UNODC COPAK and the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to establish a Research and Analysis Centre at FIA Headquarters in Islamabad. The purpose of this initiative was to enhance legal, regulatory, and enforcement frameworks on human trafficking and migrant smuggling. It added to knowledge and skills within the migration-related law enforcement agencies and improved information collection, analysis, and coordination of migration-related crimes. The Research and Analysis Centre (RAC) was officially inaugurated on 1 May 2014. Currently three researchers from UNODC and two from the FIA have been placed at the Centre, with necessary equipment and software provided by UNODC. The findings of this report are based on research conducted at RAC over the past year.

Definition and Function Sources report that the First Information Report (FIR) is the "basic document" used to report a crime (USIP May 2013, 7) or the "first step to launching the criminal investigation process" (Pakistan 11 Dec. 2013). Specifically, the Punjab Police website defines an FIR as "an account of a cognizable (i.e. over which police has jurisdiction) offence that is entered in a particular format in a register at the police station" (Punjab n.d.c). Similarly, the Islamabad-based Centre for Peace and Development Initiatives-Pakistan (CPDI-Pakistan), an independent and non-partisan group that promotes citizenship rights in Pakistan (CPDI [2006], 4), produced a booklet in 2006 titled First Information Reports (FIR) (A Guide for Citizens) that explains that the FIR is the "written document prepared by the police when they receive information about the commission of a cognizable offence," usually lodged by the victim or someone on their behalf (ibid., 1).
