Martyrs’ wall Thousands of police officers in Pakistan have

laid their lives in line of duty. The toll has risen

exponentially since 9/11. Alumni of National

Police Academy have valiantly led from the

front brave police men and women, given their

lives and honoured their alma mater.

National Police Academy has dedicated a

memorial wall in respect of these martyrs and

their supreme sacrifice.

The dedication was made on 28 December

2015 in presence of IGP (r) Mr Zafar Iqbal

Rathore, IGP (r) Mr Aziz Khan, IGP (r) Syed

Shabeer Ahmed Shah, IGP (r) Mr Iftikhar

Chaudhry, IGP (r) Mr Muhammad Akbar Khan

Mr Safwat Ghayur is one of the most

charismatic and iconic alumnus of

National Police Academy. His love and

association for the academy was profound

where he returned to serve as Course

Commander in April 1998. He was

serving as Commandant FC when he was

martyred on 4 August 2010 in Peshawar, a

city he loved:

“a lean man, with loosely fitted clothes, a

hint of pattas (a pushtu word for hair

coming down over the neck) peeping out

from behind his beret, with a swagger in

his gait, a sultry smile and a twinkle in his

eye. He was a good looking person

radiating confidence and authority”***

Message

Police service is a great test of human

character. It is therefore hardly surprising

that it can bring out the best in those

associated with this extraordinary

profession. With right attitude and hard

work a police officer can lead a life which

is fulfilling both personally and

professionally.

Individual genius may help some to

achieve laudable results, but for a vast

majority professional achievement and

personal success follows focused and

consistent endeavour guided by a sure

hand.

Police officers are expected to operate

effectively in complex and dynamic

milieus. In a region facing national, sub-

national and trans-national issues, and

where state and society are in process of

negotiating a fine balance, role of police

becomes contested.

With preceding background in view, it is

reasonable to infer that training a corps of

future police leadership is an important

task. These future leaders are expected to

motivate and invigorate police force,

ensure public service and remain positive

in an adverse policing space.

National Police Academy is committed to

delivering a transformational training

experience through its unique institutional

memory and close local and international

collaborations.

2015: Commandant NPA

Profile Inspector General of Police (r) Mr

Muhammad Khalid Qureshi was born on 26

December 1955. He joined Police Service of

Pakistan in 1981 becoming part of 9th

Common Training Programme at Civil

Services Academy Lahore.

He retired from service on 23rd December

2015 at National Police Academy where he

served as the 25th commandant of NPA from

19 June to 23 December 2015.

Mr Khalid Qureshi had an illustrious career

of 34 years in police service. In addition to

important assignments, his career path is

dotted with consistent value acquisition.

He gained significant international exposure

in law enforcement through postings at

United Nations Peace Keeping Missions.

Having served in Mozambique in 1994, Mr

Qureshi spent another two years at UNPKM

in Bosnia Herzegovina from 2000 to 2002.

In addition to these postings, he attended

important seminars and courses in Japan,

Germany, and United Kingdom.

The outgoing commandant took keen interest

in physical and academic trainings of ASPs

and in-service officers during his academy

tenure.

His association with the academy post

retirement will be a source of encouragement

and continuity and it will benefit all those

who come to NPA for capacity building at

different stages of their careers.

Visiting faculty for ICC

The outgoing commandant will continue

to have more than a formal connection

with the academy. Mr Khalid Qureshi has

consented to be resource person for legal

instruction of ASPs of 43rd STP / 19th

ICC. He has accepted the academy’s offer

to teach Criminal Procedure Code.

Mr Taimoor Aly Khan PSP has also

expressed willingness to join NPA

visiting faculty for taking a course of

ASPs on Qanun e Shahdat Order.

These valuable additions will enhance

academy’s capacity to impart high quality

legal knowledge on participants of Initial

Command Course.

Mr Abdullah Lak

ASP of 41st STP

relives the final day

The final day

“There is compassion that develops knowing that your fellow ASPs are also struggling to maintain their

stamina in passing out rehearsals - but it is a sense of camaraderie that reassures and unifies us in those

tough moments.

“As soon as I got allocated to the Police Service of Pakistan, the sounds of trumpets and drums started

echoing in my ears. It is the regal and pompous revelry of passing out that makes this service stand out

from the rest of the civil services. It is occasions like parades and pinning ceremonies that introduce pride

in uniformed services.

“Personally, I had always idealised my father and had hoped to one day step into his shoes. When I

marched in front of audience, shouting cautions and swinging my sword towards the chief guest I saw

my father – and I knew he was the proudest person on earth; his son was repeating history. 26 years ago

he was in the exact same place that I was in today.”

Assistant Superintendents of Police

of 42nd Specialized Training

Programme / 18th ICC arrived at

NPA in the second half of May

2015. There are 29 officers in the

batch including one lady officer and

two officers from Pakistan Air

Force. PAF officers had joined the

training for development phase

only. After completion of

development phase the officers

reported on 08th February 2016 for

Combat Orientation Course at

Police Elite Training School Bedian

Lahore, while the PAF officers

reported back to their parent

organisation.

Officers during mess night with Mr Harris Khalique

18th Initial Command Course officers are

undergoing their 24-week field attachment

in their respective provinces of allocation.

The officers shall report back at the

academy at the end of their UT-ship (field

attachment). Back at academy these

officers will complete their consolidation

phase of training and have their passing

out parade.

During the course of their stay at academy

trainee officers went for local field trips to

important police and government

organisations including FIA headquarters,

NH&MP headquarters, Passport and

NADRA offices, PAF headquarters, and

ANF headquarters.

British High Commission arranged a three

day visit of the officers to Punjab

Forensics Science Laboratory (PFSL)

Lahore.

ASPs under-training visited Punjab, Sindh,

KP, and AJ&K as part of their field study

tours.

A key visit of the trainees was to the

presidency, where the officers got an

opportunity to discuss with President

civilian law enforcement in Pakistan.

ASP UT Mr Muhammad Essa Khan

currently doing his field work at district

Shikarpur, Sindh while writing of their

study tour to Karachi noted that

presentations given to them on National

Action Plan and visit of CPLC offices in

Karachi were helpful activities.

ASP UT Mr Umer Abbas Babar has added

that the batch’s visit to AJ&K informed

them about army’s unique position and

role there.

Presidency in December

2015. Issues of national

interest were discussed in

detail followed by open

service. The president said

that Pakistan of today is

beset by terrorism and

extremism which has

disturbed national peace

and further marginalised

progressive elements.

“Unity, Faith, Discipline”

During country study tour of Sindh

under-training officers at National

as a long standing tradition, pay their

respects to the founder of the nation

and offer fateha.

ASPs on a visit to SSU Karachi

Sindh Police has raised a Special Security

Unit to deal with rising levels of violent

crime in Karachi. ASPs were briefed about

training, capacity and preparedness of SSU.

The experience gave a sound opportunity to

under-training officers in understanding the

need of operationally equipped force and

means to raise and utilise such specialised

units in police.

ASPs with President of AJ&K

Azad Jammu & Kashmir and its dynamics are

important in context of Pakistan’s strategic

priorities. Under-training officers visited AJ&K in

November 2015 and engaged with a wide range of

government officials both military and civilian and

public office holders including the prime minister.

From commandant’s message to ASPs UT

“Initial Command Course (ICC) is a

specialized 18-month long training

programme. It is designed to meet

professional needs of under-training

Assistant Superintendents of Police.

National Police Academy equips

probationer ASPs with knowledge,

skills, attitudes, standards of integrity

and professionalism to adequately face

present and prospective policing

challenges.

“ICC is spread over four phases and

encompasses both physical and

academic activities.

“Upon arrival you will undergo a

month long Foundation Phase that

introduces trainees to broad contours of

policing.

“Development Phase is the longest and

most demanding part of ICC. The 34-

week long phase imparts legal

knowledge and practical policing skills

through academic instruction and nine

development modules. Activities

including Para-PT, drill and musketry

will be important constituents of

physical regimen during this time.

After academic and physical

examination you are sent to a six-week

Combat Orientation Course, a special

weapons and tactics programme, at

Elite Police Training School, Bedian,

Lahore.

“ After completion of combat course

you will join provinces of your

allocations for field training. The 6-

month long Field Attachment Phase

allows you to practically apply

knowledge and skills that you acquired

in development phase.

“ICC culminates in a four-week long

Consolidation Phase.

“As a new entrant in this profession

you need to be conscious of

responsibilities, duties and problems

that you may confront during the

course of your exciting careers.”

First day at NPA started with

morning physical training at 5 am

time the day ended at 6 pm, we

knew the journey would not only

be interesting, it would be

rigourous as well.

During orientation sessions

former IGPs, serving police

officers and eminent members of

civil society held presentations on

diverse subjects. From

introduction of policing in

subcontinent to contemporary

policing culture in Pakistan, and

from challenges of terrorism to

opportunities of international

police collaborations – a whole

range of ideas and issues were

discussed with impressive

knowledge, candidness and

humanism.

Participants of 2nd District Command Course with

Commandant National Police Academy

The 2nd District

Command Course was

held from 3 March

2016 to 14 April 2016

at National Police

Academy. Ten mid-

career police officers

from all provinces

undertook this 5-week

long course that ended

with their graduation

on 15 April 2016.

Overview

In the 12th NPA Board of Governors it was directed that NPA

should develop and plan Senior / District Command Course for

newly promoted Superintendents of Police. The decision was

made in view of capacity building needs of mid-career officers

and their changed roles as SPs.

Key performance areas were identified through rigourous job

tasks analysis and further consolidated through Master Trainers’

Workshop conducted in January 2016 at NPA.

NPA in collaboration with ICITAP evolved infrastructure and

developed training manuals for instructors. Before the course is

formally incorporated into National Police Training Programme,

all key issues related to curricula, criteria for participation and

course duration will be discussed at appropriate forums for formal

adoption.

District Police Officers (DPOs) in Pakistan are qualified, trained and experienced police

functionaries. They are tested by leadership responsibilities, limited resources, and the need to

multi-task with acts of terrorism and major crimes. Political, social, financial and personnel

issues in ever-changing, diverse environments make their job harder. District Command Course

project was initiated in November 2010 to train district officers in view of such challenges.

National Police Academy collaborated with ICITAP in creating a command level course. A Job

Task Analysis (JTA) of serving DPOs was conducted to identify training needs for district

officers.

JTA helped identify 10 duties and 91 tasks that are key in developing a comprehensive course at

the academy; and NPA & ICITAP developed that course with the assistance of Pakistani subject

experts.

The second district command course had 24 training days. Ten out of twelve modules were

designed by National Police Academy. Modules were conducted by eight PSP officers and two

ICITAP trainers.
