TRAINING POLICIES 

PUNJAB POLICE TRAINING POLICY - 2011 

The purpose of Police Training is to develop the necessary attitudes, skills and knowledge, which will enable police officers of all ranks to undertake their roles and responsibilities as expected under police rules and international standards of law enforcement. Punjab Police Training Policy-2011 prepared by the Training Branch with the collaboration of GIZ- Gender Responsive Policing (GRP) Project. 

EXAMINATION POLICY - 2012

It was observed that there was no uniform examination policy being followed in all PTIs except a brief mention of examination in the Police College Manual, 2002. In this regard different instructions/policies had been issued from time to time in bits and pieces. The conduct of examination is a very important aspect in any Police Training Institution and there was a dire need to formulate a comprehensive policy about the conduct of examinations and permission to re-appear for failures in basic as well as promotional courses. In view of the narrated factors, an examination policy-2012 was prepared and issued with approval of competent authority. 

STANDING ORDER 4/2015 REGARDING SELECTION/ POSTING/ TENURE OF INSTRUCTORS

In the year 1976 a policy was introduced whereby certain incentives like special allowance, one-step promotion and provision of opportunity for availing seats of PTIs for undergoing training courses were given to the instructional staff posted in the training institutions for a period of three years from different district/units. Consequently, in 2009 a new policy of training was introduced which could not be fully implemented being devoid of prior approval from in the Provincial Government which was mandatory under Atricle-112 of Police Order-2002. Thus, it had no legal sanctity as observed by the Hon’ble Suppreme Court of Pakistan. Later on, the said policy was revised with few amendments in accordance of present day requirements. The government of the Punjab has approved and the same was issued with the approval of the competent authority.
