ANNUAL POLICING PLAN FOR THE YEAR 2020-21 Chakwal

Article 10(4) of the Police Order 2002 envisages formulation of Annual District Policing Plan. The plan shall include objectives of policing, financial resources likely to be available during the year, target and mechanism for achieving those targets. As a statutory requirement, “Annual Policing Plan 2020-21” is supposed to be submitted to the competent authority for its approval. Although, objectives are derived from the overarching vision for the District Police but the financial resources, earmarked by the government for Chakwal in the financial year and constraints thereof have change initiatives in transforming District Police into an efficient and transparent public service provider entity will be more dependent on the behavioral transformation through short courses at Police liens, redesigning human resource management practice and developing standard operating procedure for police processes and professionalism. However, it is necessary to register at the out that reforming police in accordance with the wishes of the citizens of District Chakwal is inescapably a cost intensive effort where huge public money is involved. Sir Robert Peel in his address to the British parliament on Police Reforms in 1907 expressed his views that “The quality of policing is directly proportional to the financial aspects policing. It will be difficult to get a good result without paying for it”.

Despite this financial stringency, Chakwal Police is fully cognizant and committed to its pivotal and crucial role in warding off today’s biggest menace namely terrorism in addition to performing other basic functions and duties as enumerated in “Our Policing Plan”. Effective response to this challenge entails that various components of Chakwal Police act in unison and that optimum levels of coordination and synergies be achieved with other relevant entities within and without the District, in the interest of comprehensive approach to law enforcement, we have also been guided by the need to ensure that counter-terrorism role of the Police would not detract from its ability to meet the broader responsibility entrusted to it maintenance of law and order in the District.
