Policing the Police

Virtually every police force in the world 'understand, speak and read' their own language. Not a single police force in Europe do anything in English.Why shouldn't 'FIR' be in your own language? Can't people read their own script anymore in Pakistan?

I have no objection if FIRs are being written in Urdu, that is not the issue, the issue is it's not simple plain Urdu that everyone can understand easily. A drafting and writing skill limited to few government employees only. If you can read Urdu just google FIRs in Urdu and you would know what I am trying to say.

@RescueRanger I have given it another reading, tried reading the PO 2002. The question is who is going to take the initiative? The legislator, the Police superiors or the common people? All you said is valid, but how can that be useful with current state and mindset of our police, the force continuum model is good on paper, but for one to exercise it in real life, don't you think it has be ingrained in him multiple times during his initial training and later on job? How are we going to make sure effective use of body cameras. We look to US and UK examples, but the thing is their personnel are trained sufficiently to judge the situation and understand and leave their trace by touching the tail lights of a vehicle before approaching the subject. Keeping certain functions and their budget totally separate (not letting them to mingle with crime fighting force) can help e.g. totally separate induction for administrative office work, finance, IT, housekeeping, of people who hold the requisite educational background and have the expertise, the introduction of internal performance audits and quality checks by third parties? The input of police itself in law making? Fighting for the appropriate budget and its effective disbursement so that accountability can be assured? What has changed after Iftikhar Chaudhry saga?

The performance appraisal of house in-charge 'SHO' can be totally based on feedback from the locality where that police station is ...... or a part of appraisal, some percentage. Drop the form or send them to residents of that area and ask them to rank different performance indicators. That may get him involved.

FIA should do special watchdog job on police as FBI does
That is not what FBI does, you are talking about Federal Oversight, Federal Oversight is carried out by a Federal Commission, not the FBI. The FBI just leads in Criminal Investigations of a serious nature! The FIA itself is not free from fault, who would watch the watcher?

Seems like this thread has become hostage to kinda red tape situation . Playing with the diction alone can't reform the police.

Italians have 5 police departments... for small issues, petty crime, quarrels etc municipal police, for theft, arrest, traffic polizia (police), mob control lethal action (carbineri), for finance guarda di finanze, then there is for forestry/pets etc.
They all have different training.. muinicipale (municipal) police is a soft heart and are always local... they don't get transferred out of the zone like the Lahore division.. polizia are like normal police but deal with public and crimes like theft, quarrel, etc. but carbineri is like elite force and like what our normal police do... e.g. murder investigation, chase, mob control, ATS activities etc.. they are armed with assault rifles.

In UK police, you always get hired at a lower rank (constable etc)... they raise to higher ranks.. so we need to abolish or modify CSS induction as they don't spend time on roads and with lower ranks...
Edit: Will red the OP later.
