As per the Decoration Act 1975, two categories of police medals i.e. Quaid-e-Azam Police Medal (QPM)

and President's Police Medal (PPM) for Police Personnel are awarded on yearly basis by President of

Pakistan on the recommendations of Provincial Governments/ other concerned departments, on

Independence Day. NPB acting as a focal point between provincial and federal governments,

recommended 45 police personnel in 2012 and 54 in 2013. Cases for 2014 have been forwarded to

Government.

The section periodically collects crime/police related data from provincial police units and prepares

monthly crime data summary on the basis of reports received from all provincial police. It also prepares

weekly crime situation report of Pakistan for Federal Government i.e. Ministry of Interior. The Section

also performs R&D functions under Article 162(4) Police Order 2002. It processes cases related to

issuance of NOCs for purchase of Arms and Ammunitions to the Provincial Governments on behalf of

Ministry of Interior.

This section deals with Parliament Business (National Assembly and Senate). It also looks after legal

matters, petitions / Court Notices. Matters concerning complaints of general public against police are

received through President's Secretariat, Prime Minister's Secretariat, Minister for Interior, Secretary

Ministry of Interior and other Ministries/Parliamentarians. This section diligently handles other related

issues including SAARC matters.

Gender Crime Cell was established in 2006 in NPB to address lack of data on gender crimes in Pakistan.

Lack of data limits accountability, constrain policy development and makes it difficult to monitor

individual cases or advocate institutional changes. GCC is a central repository of relevant data on cases

of violence against women, and successfully assists policy makers to develop holistic and effective policy

to prevent and punish violence against women.

Donors Conference

Budget

Donors Conference May 20, 2014 Islamabad Senior police officers in session Donors Conference May 20, 2014 Islamabad

Ministry of Finance has reduced budget for the year 2014-15 by 4.76% in case of NPB and 4.00% in case of

NPSC compared to the last financial year budget (2013-14). Cutback have come especially in employees

related expenses which will be inadequate as Government has increased the pay of all Federal

Government employees by 10%. The deficiency hopefully will be met in revised estimated demand in

December, 2014.

National Police Bureau, as an umbrella organization of all police organizations and focal point for

donors, organized a Donors' Conference on 20th May 2014. Major aim of the conference was to

coordinate and organize donors' activities and avoid duplication, to analyze future requirements of LEAs

and future plans of donors and to see what difficulties the donors are facing regarding implementation of

the projects. 17 different donor & implementing organizations attended the conference. Follow up

conference is planned in 2015.

EVENTS

The International Gender Responsive Policing Conference

Community Policing Conference

During the Donors' Conference it has been felt that our International partners working on CP but these

efforts are in isolation and there is a disconnect between all these efforts. National Police Bureau onth

18 June 2014 brought all individual efforts of International partners under one roof at the NPB to

ensure that there is better utilization of efforts. It also gave an insight into its own vision of CP, to be

carried forward in the following manner;

To conduct a research as to why all previous attempts of community policing of national and

international partners have not succeeded so far?

To Identify the best practices, tailoring these practices according to our cultural and regional

requirements and replicating them accordingly

To work on legalizing Community Policing
