The prime minister also stressed the importance of teamwork, coordination and collaboration within the police organization. He said the effective use of information technology could make police operations faster, easier and more transparent while saving time, facilitating timely criminal investigations and enabling prompt responses to incidents.
“Information technology should be properly utilized to ensure impartial, evidence-based, scientific and technology-driven criminal investigations,” Shah said, adding that leadership and training also play crucial roles in strengthening the police organization.
He said the government remained committed to providing the resources and equipment required to support effective investigations and enable the police to fulfil their responsibilities.
Shah congratulated the newly inducted inspectors and wished them success in their professional careers. He also expressed gratitude to the family members of police personnel for their continued support and encouragement. A total of 79 police inspectors were inducted at the ceremony.
