Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has announced that overseas training will now become a permanent part of the professional development programme for police officers.
He made the remarks during a meeting with assistant superintendents of police who recently returned from training programmes in China and Türkiye.
The officers briefed the minister on modern law enforcement practices, including advanced surveillance systems, new technology, equipment and effective methods for maintaining law and order.
Naqvi said the international exposure had expanded the officers’ professional skills and would help improve policing standards in Pakistan.
He also announced a pilot project in Islamabad to establish a China-style law enforcement investigation centre, where detention, investigation and summary trials would be handled under one roof. According to him, the facility would help ensure the swift disposal of minor criminal cases.
The minister said Pakistan would study successful policing models from other countries and adapt them to strengthen its own law enforcement system.
He added that modern surveillance tools and advanced drones would significantly improve the police’s ability to monitor and prevent crime. The Interior Ministry’s aviation wing will also receive advanced drones for surveillance support.
Naqvi further said specialised investigation rooms would be set up at the National Police Academy, while interrogation would be introduced as a dedicated subject in police training. He said modern techniques used in developed countries would be included in the training curriculum.
Plans were also discussed to introduce new police uniforms better suited to operational needs.
The meeting was attended by the commandant of the National Police Academy, the director general of the Federal Investigation Agency and other senior officials.
