In a significant move aimed at boosting the morale of law enforcement officers, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has announced a substantial salary hike and an executive allowance for the Islamabad Police. The announcement was made during a special ceremony at the Prime Minister’s Office today.
The prime minister emphasized the vital role that law enforcement agencies play in ensuring the safety and security of citizens, particularly in the capital, Islamabad. He acknowledged the dedication and sacrifices made by police officers in maintaining law and order, despite numerous challenges.
Under the new package, Islamabad Police officers will receive a considerable increase in their base salaries. Additionally, an executive allowance will be introduced to support officers in meeting the growing financial demands of their duties. These measures are expected to improve the financial well-being of police personnel and help attract better talent into the force.
“This decision reflects our government’s commitment to not only enhancing the welfare of our police officers but also improving the efficiency and effectiveness of law enforcement in Islamabad. Our police are our frontline defenders, and they deserve to be recognized and supported for the hard work they do each day,” said PM Shehbaz Sharif during the announcement.
The salary hike and allowances will be effective immediately, benefiting all ranks within the Islamabad Police force. The government also pledged to continue reviewing the welfare and professional development of police personnel to ensure they remain motivated and equipped to perform their duties effectively.
The move has been welcomed by various police unions and officers, who have long advocated for better compensation and incentives to help them in their roles.
This announcement is part of a broader effort by the government to modernize Pakistan’s police services and address issues related to personnel welfare, infrastructure, and operational capacity. The Prime Minister also noted that additional reforms would be introduced in the coming months to further improve the functioning of law enforcement agencies across the country.
The new salary and allowance structure is expected to contribute to greater job satisfaction and professionalism within the Islamabad Police, ensuring that they are better equipped to face the challenges of maintaining peace and security in the national capital.
