Punjab has launched mobile police station vans to provide essential police services closer to citizens across the province. The initiative includes 33 mobile police stations, including six Pink Mobile Police Stations staffed by female personnel to assist women.
The mobile units will operate in different districts, particularly serving residents of remote areas and reducing the time and cost of travelling to police stations. The vans will also visit universities and girls’ colleges according to scheduled routes and respond to areas identified through Police Emergency 15 calls.
Each mobile police station will provide 14 services, including online FIR applications, missing reports, criminal record checks, tenant registration, police verification and character certificate verification. Citizens can also report lost CNICs, cards, checkbooks and other important documents.
The vans will additionally provide learner and regular driving licenses, license renewals, duplicate licenses and international driving licenses. The Pink Mobile Police Stations will have female staff to handle sensitive complaints involving harassment, violence and abuse against women and children.
Authorities will share the schedules of the mobile police stations through social media, other communication channels and local mosque announcements.
