ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): On Thursday, Interior Minister Syed Mohsin Naqvi toured the National Police Academy (NPA) located in Islamabad to check on the renovation work and to see the facility.
The minister provided the necessary directions to NPA Commandant Muhammad Idrees and toured the conference hall, dining hall, and main areas of the academy, as well as the inspection facilities.
Accompanying the Assistant Superintendents of Police (ASPs) who are receiving training, Naqvi announced that officers would receive residential plots upon successful completion of their training.
Moreover, he talked about the current batch going to Beijing, China, for a one-month professional training program that would enable them to acquire new skills and increase their knowledge.
The interior minister pointed out that one of the governmental measures to tackle police personnel’s financial woes was to boost their salaries. “I want every police official’s salary to be raised so that they can take home respectable pay,” he said.
In addition, he reassured that the police would be given modern facilities in partnership with the National Police Foundation, and he would not allow complaints regarding police promotions to die.
