performance shall reap reward !
I know it is a non essential expenditure but once KPK has enough money...they should change the police uniform and make it more attractive.
The color choice sucks.

Peshawar’s three top police officers suspended
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa inspector general of police Nasir Khan Durrani on Wednesday suspended three senior officers of the Peshawar police on the charge of involvement in crimes and ordered a departmental inquiry against them.
Among the suspected officers were SP (rural circle) Rahim Shah Khan, DSP Banaras Khan and DSP Tajamul Khan, said a spokesman for the police.
He, however, didn’t elaborate on the charge.
The spokesman said additional IGP (operations) Mohammad Ali Babakhel headed the inquiry team, while DIG (inquiry and inspection) Azad Khan and SSP (operations) Najeebur Rehman were its members.
According to him, the IGP directed the team to complete inquiry in three weeks and submit its report to him without delay for necessary action.
The police chief said strict action would be taken against whosoever was found involved in any kind of criminal activities.
A source in the police said a kidnapped boy had been recovered from a building in Hayatabad Township few weeks ago but his kidnappers were still at large.
Police chief orders probe into criminal charge against SP, DSPs
“Yes. It’s a rented building, where the boy was kept. The tenant is Asif, who is on the loose. The boy, Mateeullah, was a money changer,” he said.
The source said the police had begun registration of tenants under the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Restriction of Rented Buildings Security Ordinance 2014 and as for the case in question, the tenant had got the house allegedly on the recommendation of one of the officers, who didn’t know about his character.
Another source said the complaints against certain police personnel about their involvement in crimes, mainly for kidnapping for ransom, were increasing fast and many of them were under vigilance by the relevant high-ups.
When contacted, Peshawar SSP (operations) Najeebur Rehman said some 100 policemen, including officers, had been awarded punishment alone in Peshawar district during the last one year, while many faced disciplinary action.
“In the entire province, some 300 policemen, including officers, have so far been punished for minor and major offences, while the process of awarding punishment to such cops is underway,” he said, adding that the IGP had asked his subordinates to either be fair or face punishment.
About the alleged involvement of the SP and two DSPs in crimes, he said the departmental inquiry had been ordered against them and that the factual position would be known only after proper investigation into the matter was over.
“At the movement I cannot say about it,” he said.
When asked about public complaints about the police avoiding to conduct raids to recover kidnapped victims despite reports and signals that the people were kept in parts of Hayatabad and Town, the SSP said no body could exactly tell about proper location of such places.
“The locator can give signal within six kilometers radius which also includes Shakas area of Khyber Agency, where the police cannot conduct raids for recovery of kidnapped persons,” he said.
He said the police had focused attention on self-accountability in addition to the control of crimes.

One thing I love about KPK's society is that they don't have this caste-system which is prevailing in Punjab and Sindh....all men have equal standing and that's one reason that people and policemen in KPK take no nonsense from no one.
Good going and I hope the reforms continue making the KPK Police one of the best forces.

This is an excellent update thread. Great work.
I hope and pray that KPK police reforms continue and it becomes a model to adopt. It will be easier then to transfer and implement such reforms in other provinces (when some 'gherat' awakens in the other three).

KP police modifying patrolling vehicles
The Telecommunication and Transport Branch of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police has successfully carried out the steel plating of 256 vehicles in the province to mitigate the threats posed by attacks with improvised explosive devices on police vehicles.
In view of the increasing number of the IED attacks and firing incidents on police patrol vehicles, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police had decided to instal similar locally-developed IED-resistant armour protection on police personnel transport pickups. According to police, following the directives of IGP Nasir Khan Durrani an agreement was signed with the Pakistan Army for this purpose and so far mild steel plating of 256 police vehicles had been carried out under the contract.
It was stated that these vehicles included 204 single cabin and 52 double-cabin pickups. District- and unit-wise details of the vehicles are; Peshawar 53, Charsadda 18, Nowshera 19, Mardan 39, Swabi 18, Kohat 15, Hangu eight, Tank 11, Lakki Marwat 10, Bannu 16, DI Khan 29, Swat four, Buner two, Lower Dir three, Upper Dir two, Shangla two, Elite Force two and telecommunication two.
A police official of the rural circle pleading anonymity told Dawn that the modified vehicles were not safe enough to replace the armored personnel carriers (APCs), but it was compulsion of the police to use it at least to counter the attacks to some extent.
“There are very few APCs with Peshawar police and they too were always found out of order because ordinary mechanics cannot repair them,” the official revealed and added that in case of a major fault the police had to call mechanics from Rawalpindi and Islamabad for the purpose. The modified police vans, he said, might help resist blasts of low intensity explosive devices, but powerful bombs could damage them easily.
