This was stated by the Inspector General of Police Punjab javed Iqbal, while addressing the Head money distribution ceremony held at Police Headquarters here today.
The IGP appreciated the police officers/ officials of Lahore, Kasure, Gujranwala, Mandi Bahawaldin, Jehlum, Faisalabad, Sargodha, and Khanewal for showing their exemplary courage in connection with apprehension of hardened proclaimed offenders across the Punjab. The Provincial Police Chief also paid rich tribute especially to the services rendered by the informers in this regard.
The IGP said that despite the fact the police department remains engaged in the protection of lives and properties of the people round the clock and faces more risks/challenges, the image of the police in the society was not up to the mark due to irresponsible behaviour of some black sheeps of this department. He advised the Jawans to continue their efforts for eradication of crime from the province.
IGP also thanked the Punjab Government for providing such amount for the police Officers/officials. On this occasion an amount of Rs. 4.7 millions was distributed among 107 police officers/officials including 04 informers along with 06 mandatory certificates.
