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.

C&I Section

This section deals with Parliament Business (National Assembly and Senate). It also looks after legal matters, petitions / Court Notices. Matters concerning complaints of general public against police are received through President's Secretariat, Prime Minister's Secretariat, Minister for Interior, Secretary Ministry of Interior and other Ministries/Parliamentarians. This section diligently handles other related issues including SAARC matters.

Gender Crime Cell

Gender Crime Cell was established in 2006 in NPB to address lack of data on gender crimes in Pakistan. 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). Police Record and Office Management Information System (PROMIS) ii). Pakistan Automated Fingerprint Identification System (PAFIS) iii). National Integrated Trunking Radio System (NITRS) iv). National Forensic Science Agency (NFSA)
