The 10 things you should know about police sacrifices in Pakistan
1 The country observed a special day on Wednesday to pay homage to members of the police force who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty.
2 In Islamabad, President Arif Alvi was the chief guest at a function organised by the police and in his speech he acknowledged that the police were the front-line force against terrorism and crime.
3 Many such events took place across the country to highlight the gallantry of policemen and women who laid down their lives while combating crime and terrorism.
4 The police have a valid point when they complain that their services do not get the acknowledgement they deserve.
5 The police suffer from an image problem because they have faced years of neglect and abuse at the hands of successive governments.
6 The politicisation of the force, insecurity of tenure, lack of training, and the traditional role that the state has assigned to the police, have all contributed to making the law enforcers a target of criticism and public mistrust.
7 However, this same force has been at the forefront of fighting terrorism and achieved remarkable success despite limited resources.
8 Both officers and jawans of the police have displayed valour in the face of daunting odds and delivered success often at the cost of their own lives.
9 It is high time that the police are given due recognition for bravely taking on terrorists.
10 This recognition should translate into more resources, better emoluments, improved training, modern equipment and greater accolades.
