KARACHI: The inspector general of police Sindh, Javed Alam Odho, continued a series of introductory meetings with various police departments at the Central Police Office in Karachi on Friday, emphasising digitalisation of services, improved performance and a zero-tolerance policy against crime.
The meeting was attended by additional inspectors general of police for Karachi, operations and training, DIG headquarters, SP Highway Patrol, DIG crime and investigations, DIG driving licence, DIG traffic Karachi, SPU, RRF, zonal DIGs and other senior officers.
During the session, senior officers from the Special Branch, Counter Terrorism Department, RRF, SPU, SP Highway Patrol, crime and investigations, driving licence branch and traffic police Karachi presented detailed briefings on the overall performance of their respective departments and key operational issues.
The inspector general directed all wings of Sindh police to work towards the digitalisation of public services and internal departmental processes. He said maximum public-facing and departmental matters should be shifted online so citizens could access police services from their homes.
He said efforts were needed to promote a positive image of policing and to move away from the traditional “thana culture”. He instructed officers to submit proposals aimed at further improving the capacity and performance of their departments.
The police chief said the Sindh government was providing full resources and cooperation to the police force and stressed that a zero-tolerance policy should be adopted against crime and criminal elements. He also directed that the public should be regularly informed about daily police actions and initiatives.
