The Federal Interior Minister Mohin Naqvi announced on Saturday that the National Police Academy (NPA) was completely restructured in accordance with international standards to improve the quality of training and professionalism within the Pakistan police forces.
Speaking during a press briefing, the minister said that the reorganization of the Academy was part of a broader strategy to modernize the law enforcement establishments across the country.
Naqvi said the police will now be trained using best internationally recognized practices, with increased emphasis on human rights, technology, survey techniques and terrorism control strategies.
“This restructuring will ensure that our police forces are fully equipped to deal with modern challenges and maintain public confidence,” said the minister. “We are determined to build a reactive, effective and respected police system around the world.”
The overhaul includes updates to the study program, infrastructure upgrades, an incorporation of advanced training simulations and collaboration with international police organizations and training institutions.
Trainers from friendly countries will also be invited to help develop a force ready for the future.
The Ministry of the Interior confirmed that a special working group was monitoring the reform process and that the first batch of officers in the new system will graduate at the start of next year.
