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.

S.I/ASI Traffic HC/Const. IGP Insp./L Warden 1 14 37 258 810 2950 21443 6850 145026 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.
