The NPB, which is led by FIA chief Dr Usman Anwar, is going to assume a greater role in future in devising national reforms and strategies for all police departments.\n\nThe new policy is significant in light of the visit by the Chief of Defence Force Field Marshal Asim Munir to the National Police Academy in January 2026, where he emphasised that \u201ca strong, professional, and people-centric police force\u201d was indispensable for internal security and the rule of law.\n\nDawn learnt that the security establishment has extended full support to the civil law enforcement agencies (LEAs) for \u201cshowing no compromise in making the internal security impregnable\u201d.\n\n\u2018Enhanced role of NPB\u2019\n\nAccording to the documents shared with Dawn, certain former IGPs and serving officers contributed to the proposals that sought to enhance the role of the NPB in restructuring the police functions across the country. Some important issues include raising a Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) in Gilgit-Baltistan, integration of police data at the national level, and centralisation of the International Driving Permit.\n\nNPB and FIA Director General Dr Usman Anwar has been made the convener of the upcoming NPMB meeting. Talking to Dawn, he said that there was a \u201cserious disconnect\u201d between various civil LEAs and similarly, many emerging policing challenges needed to be addressed before it was too late."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/i.dawn.com\/primary\/2026\/06\/04072302791dd16.webp<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/i.dawn.com\/primary\/2026\/06\/04072302791dd16.webp<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18387,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weeklyyoung.pk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/weeklyyoung.pk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/weeklyyoung.pk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeklyyoung.pk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeklyyoung.pk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18386"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/weeklyyoung.pk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18386\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18388,"href":"https:\/\/weeklyyoung.pk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18386\/revisions\/18388"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeklyyoung.pk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/18387"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/weeklyyoung.pk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeklyyoung.pk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeklyyoung.pk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
