Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi announced on Saturday that the National Police Academy (NPA) is being completely restructured in line with international standards to improve the quality of training and professionalism within the Pakistan police force.
Speaking at a press conference, the minister said that the reorganization of the Academy is part of a broader strategy to modernize the institutions of application of the law throughout the country.
NAQVI said police officers will now receive training using internationally recognized best practices, with a greater approach to human rights, technology, research techniques and anti -terrorist strategies.
“This restructuring will ensure that our police force is fully equipped to face modern challenges and maintain public confidence,” said the minister. “We are determined to build a police system that is receptive, efficient and respected throughout the world.”
The review includes updates of the curriculum, infrastructure updates, incorporation of advanced training simulations and collaboration with international police training agencies and institutions.
Friendly countries coaches will also be invited to help develop a force ready for the future.
The Interior Ministry confirmed that a special working group is monitoring the reform process, and the first batch of officers under the new system will graduate at the beginning of next year.
