Islamabad will get a China-modelled Law Enforcement Investigation Centre, with a pilot project set to launch soon, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi announced on Thursday.
Naqvi made the announcement during a meeting in Islamabad with assistant superintendents of police who had recently completed training courses in China and Turkiye.
The officers briefed him on modern policing methods, surveillance systems, and equipment used in both countries, along with approaches to law and order management observed during their training.
Under the planned centre, detention, investigation, and summary trials will be conducted under one roof, enabling faster resolution of minor crime cases. Naqvi said the initiative reflects a broader push to strengthen the police system by adopting successful international policing models.
The minister also announced plans to make foreign training a permanent component of professional development for police officers. He said modern drones would be added to the Aviation Wing of the Ministry of Interior to expand surveillance capacity and support crime prevention.
Specialized investigation rooms will be set up at the National Police Academy, Naqvi said, with focused training tailored to the demands of contemporary policing. Interrogation will be introduced as a dedicated subject, incorporating modern techniques drawn from practices in developed countries.
