Lahore - Inspector General of Police Punjab Inam Ghani has said that under the Prime Minister’s Police Reforms Vision, steps are being taken in Punjab Police on priority basis and it has been decided to conduct health profiling of police officers and personnel to make process of accountability more effective so that the black sheep involved in the use of drugs can be taken out of the police.
He said anyone involved in ugly acts as a fashion or habit is nothing but a defect and it is also not possible that drugs user is not facilitator or participant in the activities of the drug dealers. In his regard, IAB branch should boost up its actions and tighten the noose around such officers and officials. He further said that any person using drugs would not be a part of Punjab Police in any capacity and if any officer or official of Punjab Police was found involved in using drugs during health profiling, departmental and legal action would be taken against him at the same time.
He directed the officers that in order to make the process of health profiling transparent and purposeful, the command and field officers should monitor the process themselves and use all possible means to identify the officers and personnel involved in this heinous act and also make sure that no one’s turban is lifted without proof. He further said that the officers and personnel identified during the health profiling should be subjected to drug test from authentic and standard health laboratories so that the reports made in the light of the results could not be challenged.
