In a high-level meeting chaired by the Chief Minister, several initiatives were approved, including the installation of panic buttons outside police stations, the introduction of video and audio recording during investigations, and the launch of an online FIR tracking system. Under the plan, 14,000 body cameras and 700 panic buttons will be installed across the province, while each police station will receive bodycams for 10 personnel. Additionally, citizens will be able to register FIRs for lost identification cards and documents online. The Chief Minister emphasized that all police personnel should address citizens respectfully, using \u201cSir\u201d as a standard greeting, and that the culture of rudeness at checkpoints must be eliminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dunyanews.tv\/en\/Pakistan\/935374-maryam-nawaz-declares-rajanpur-kacha-areas-cleared-of-criminals\">Maryam Nawaz declares Rajanpur, Kacha areas clear of criminals<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minor complaints are expected to be resolved within 2\u20133 hours, officers will gather public feedback regularly, and traffic management will be streamlined using the newly launched Traffic Police \u201cOne App\u201d and Safe City Monitoring app. A briefing revealed that Punjab has seen a 48% reduction in overall crime and an 80% drop in major offenses.
