38000 bullet-proof jackets distributed among policemen: IG NWFP HARIPUR: Chief of NWFP police Malik Naveed Khan Saturday said 38,000 bullet-proof jackets have been distributed among policemen and all the police personnel given 50,000 Kalashnikovs to tackle the terrorists.

Addressing police officers and jawans at a Darbar of Police Line Haripur, Malikd Naveed Khan said the NWFP police personnel embraced martyrdom to stop the suicide bombers from hitting the targets, rubbishing the impression that a suicide bomber cannot be frustrated.

The entire world has acknowledged the bravery of NWFP police, he added.

He said police lines, police stations and patrolling police posts, equipped with modern facilities are being established in different districts of the province under Project Coordination Unit.

A step in the right direction. Our Police is very ill-equipped. My heart goes out to them they put a brave face to fight without proper equipment. I think they should also be trained better and provided with Night Vision equipment. A Few helicopters are also essential so they can better track the situation rather than having to rely on the military.

Slowly but surely....

I agree that training the police to deal with terrorists is a paramount priority but given the endemic corruption within police ranks they need additional training here.

One reason groups like the Taliban were initially welcomed was due to the swift justice they granted.

I in no way condone the Taliban route of justice but if the public are to have confidence in the police they need to be whiter than white.

Given they are practically on the frontline of "Pakistans War" this is in their interest.
