KARACHI (HRNW)- Inspector General of Police (IGP) Sindh, Javed Alam Odho, has emphasized that the future of the department belongs to officers equipped with technology and modern professional training. Speaking at a certificate distribution ceremony for the “Specialized Training Workshop” held for SDPOs and SHOs at the Central Police Office, the IG highlighted how digitalization and electronic surveillance are making policing safer, more efficient, and more reliable for the public.
