Karachi:
In a movement to improve transparency and professionalism within the Sindh Police Department, IG GHULAM NABI MEMON has issued a new standard operating procedure (SOP) that governs the appointment and transfer of Sho throughout the province.
The revised policy requires that only officers who have successfully completed the course of the Higher School will be eligible for Sho publications, while those who face charges of corruption or serious criminal cases will be automatically disqualified.
According to the new SOP, the power to name Shos has been delegated to the SSP of the respective district. A committee that includes the excavation of rank and the SSP will supervise the process to guarantee equity and responsibility. In the same way, each designated sho will fulfill a minimum period of one year, except exceptional circumstances such as misconduct, low performance or physical disability.
In addition, officers will not be published as a sho in their origin districts without the prior approval of the IG Sindh. No officer can be reimbursed to the same police station within three years after their previous task there.
Shos can only be transferred before completing your possession in cases of corruption, inefficiency or prolonged official consultations exceeding 30 days. The officers eliminated under such conditions will not be eligible for the re -election of Sho for at least a year.
Outgoing sho must formally transfer all official records and properties to their successors, ensuring a transition without problems.
The police training branch and the establishment wing have received instructions to carry out regular professional development courses to improve officers’ skills.
Immediate implementation
Immediately in all districts and areas of Sindh. The notification also clarifies that no officer can use this policy to demand preferential publications in specific police stations.
This reform is part of the broadest efforts of IG Sindh Ghulam Nabi Memon to institutionalize meritocracy and stop bad practices within the police department.
The measure has been welcomed by experts in application of the law, who see it as a step to restore public confidence in force.
