Community Policing

The District Bahawalpur Police believes in smart and efficient policing for the smooth functioning of a society. In order to turn our dream of facilitating the public into a reality, we have taken the following measures:

Citizen Police Liaison Committee

Citizen Police Liaison Committee aims to establish a peaceful and crime free society, to eliminate the gaps between police & public and to upgrade and modernize the police services. It is a non-political statutory body representing all segments of the society. It is working under section 168, Police Order 2002 also coordinating with the district police in efficient community policing. As a crime free society is not possible without the help and cooperation of public, we highly appreciate the public efforts towards a peaceful community. The committee consists of 35 eminent citizens from all walks of life serving as a think-tank for the community of Bahawalpur. 

Community policing is an innovative way to control crime and social evils by active partnership between the police and the community. Bahawalpur police, as per the directions of IGP Punjab has started a comprehensive program of community policing.
