Islamabad : In a comprehensive move to modernize the federal capital’s security apparatus, Inspector General of Police (IGP) Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi has ordered the immediate digitalization of police services and a tightening of security protocols across the city. The directive follows a series of high-level strategic meetings held at the Central Police Office and the SP Rural Zone office to evaluate the current law and order landscape.
IGP Rizvi, joined by senior leadership including DIG Muhammad Jawad Tariq and AIG (Operations) Shoaib Masood, conducted a rigorous review of Islamabad's defense posture. The police chief underscored that the foundation of a robust counter-terrorism strategy lies in the seamless sharing of intelligence and proactive coordination between law enforcement agencies. He specifically tasked officers with hardening security at sensitive installations and religious sites to preempt any potential threats.
Beyond traditional security, the IGP is pushing for a digital transformation aimed at public convenience. In consultations with the Safe City IT team and the Chief Traffic Officer, Rizvi mandated the upgrading of mobile applications and online platforms. The goal is to allow citizens to access licensing, traffic services, and the e-challan system from their homes, ensuring transparency and reducing the need for physical visits to police stations.
Transitioning from technology to field operations, the IGP received detailed briefings from zonal SPs regarding local crime statistics. He issued a clear mandate for an "indiscriminate crackdown" on extremist elements and habitual offenders.
