Lahore Police:
Lahore police have the Rescue 15 helpline, however due to the vast size of Lahore and owing to inefficiency of Punjab Police, the model for Lahore police use Rescue 15 Mohafiz mobile patrols, however due to the size of the city most of the response is carried out by either a police post or police station. Historically response times varied between 20-30 minutes for Urban areas of the city and 1 hours + for rural areas of Lahore District.
In 2016 the Punjab Safe City Authority started working on integrating the emergency helplines for all three services fire, police, ambulance under one number (Rescue 15) this was called the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).
