PESHAWAR: Parliamentary leader of PML-N in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly, Sardar Aurangzeb Nalotha, has said that the bravery demonstrated by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police in the fight against terrorism will go a long way in the annals of history.
He said that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police had now become a real force and
both the opposition and ruling party had full trust in its professional capability, which was a good omen for peace and development of the society, says a press release.
He appreciated IGP Nasir Khan Durrani for keeping the police force away from politics, which was delivering to the people irrespective of their political affiliation. He also said the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police force was far better than Punjab police and added that the reforms introduced in the police force would go a long way and effectively bridge the gap between the public and police.
“I salute IGP Nasir Khan Durrani who has made the police a real professional force,” said Mr Nalotha while addressing the certificate distribution ceremony in Police School of Investigation, Hayatabad, as a chief guest here on Friday. The one-week course was arranged to impart training to the police officials on ‘criminal investigation and crime scene management’. He said that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police fought against terrorists in a commendable manner and the whole world recognised it.
Calling the establishment of school of investigation a step in the right direction, he hoped that due to this school the investigation wing of police department would deliver up to the expectations of people. He urged the course participants to perform their duty with dedication and ensure the writ of law at all costs.
Earlier, DIG training Azad Khan said that so far 11 different courses had been completed in the school in the last five months in which 300 police officers and jawans were imparted training in DNA, mobile cell forensic and criminal investigation and crime scene management, etc.
He said that the standard of the ongoing courses was being improved and new courses introduced to equip the police with the latest training so that they could effectively tackle terrorists. Later, Mr Nalotha distributed certificates among the course participants.
