Lahore police to have more woman investigators​

LAHORE: The Lahore police higher-ups have given a green signal to make more appointments of lady police officers after it received positive public feedback during the first 10 days of posting of six women officers as heads of the investigation wings at the city’s police stations.

The Lahore police has six divisions and the appointments have been made at one police station of each division. Inspector Farhat was posted as in-charge of investigation at Wahdat Colony police station, Sub-Inspector Sadaf Rasheed at Quaid-i-Azam Industrial Area police station, SI Sumaira Nazir at Model Town police station, SI Ambrin Rehman at the Defence A police station, SI Shazia Kausar at Akbari Gate and SI Sonia Liaquat was posted in-charge investigation at the Racecourse police station.

Though it constituted nearly five per cent of the total postings in 84 police stations, the move was declared a positive sign to increase the women representation in the police.

An official told Dawn that the appointments of lady police officers as heads of the investigation wings at the police stations in Lahore had inspired more women to play a leadership role. He said the underrepresentation of the women in police stations had gone unnoticed. It is evident from the fact that Lahore has one lady police station out of 84 despite the fact that women constitute 48 per cent of the total population of the city and they need support of lady police officers to stop gender discrimination.

The decision-making authorities in the police have kept the women police officials away from the investigation wing because of nature of risks involved. Recently, IGP Faisal Shahkar expressed his plan to encourage women police officers. He said the appointment of lady police officers would also help change the thana culture or police image in the public.

The official said Lahore was a tough city to serve for the police officials in all ranks as it reported over 0.2 million annual cases of crime annually, which was more than the total crime of half of Punjab. The investigation wing of Lahore police in particular faces tremendous challenges to improve conviction rate against hardened criminals.

He said the burden of cases on the investigation officers had led to the high crime in the city as most criminals resumed their activities due to the faulty investigations and poor prosecution.

In April this year, the Lahore investigation police had taken up the issues with the then IGP, citing a lack of IOs, shortage of other staff, equipment, transport and funds.

It reminds me of "thana culture", thats what is wrong ( atleast for me) with the current uniform. we need modern uniforms. I think most western europeans police uniform ( altough boring and sometimes ugly) are usefull. Police needs way more things than just uniforms.

i got your point, however changing uniform did not changed any thing in punjab, while in KPK, keeping same uniform, focusing on culture have changed the Thaana impression

The question of a change in police uniform has long remained an issue of debate among Punjab Police officials. The uniform of the force was changed from khaki and black to olive green in the year 2017.

A “key terrorist” was killed and a police constable martyred in the early hours of Sunday when gunmen attacked a police checkpost in the Shahbaz Khel area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Lakki Marwat District, a local police official said.

“The terrorists attacked the police [checkpost] with heavy and automatic weapons and tried to break in,” Lakki Marwat police spokesperson Shahid Hameed told Dawn.com, adding that RPG-7s, grenades and other “advanced weapons” were used.

“The attack was thwarted by the timely action of the police,” the spokesperson said.

Hameed identified the martyred policeman as of Constable Tehsinullah of the Rapid Response Force.

“A key terrorist was killed during the police’s retaliatory action,” the spokesperson said, identifying him as Owais Abdulkhel. Weapons were recovered from his possession.

The suspect was wanted by the CTD (Counter Terrorism Department) Bannu for being allegedly involved in attacks on police and security forces, Hameed said.

A police search operation is underway in the area.

The martyred police constable’s funeral prayers were offered at the office of the Lakki Marwat district police officer on Sunday morning, where they were attended by police and army officials.

The attack comes in the wake of a recent uptick in terrorist attacks across the country after the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) ended its months-long ceasefire with the government.

Recent weeks have seen a resurgence of militancy in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the southern belt and merged districts, with increasing intensity of attacks on law enforcement personnel.

Most recently, a policeman was martyred and at least six people — including four police officers and two civilians — were injured in a suicide blast in Islamabad’s I-10/4 sector last week. The attack was claimed by the TTP.

In Nov 16, 2022, six police personnel were reported to have been killed in what was described as a terror attack in Lakki Marwat after a police mobile patrol came under gunfire.
