Improving performance of the police by providing good physical environment, better salary packages and building capacity have always been hot topics of discussion with all and sundry. With this aim, different reform commissions and national and international bodies have made various recommendations from time to time.
The enactment of the Police Order 2012, and later on the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police Act have been steps undertaken to remodel and restructure the police on the lines of a functional specialisation in accordance with the democratic aspirations of the people.
