Police with Passion—A New Book by KP Police

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police have a unique credit of publishing a yearly book on
the performance and services of KP police. The fresh edition of ‘Policing with
Passion’, 2015-16 published by the Central Police Office (CPO), Peshawar, has set an
unprecedented example for other police leadership to capture the otherwise elusive
moments of both bravery and creativity in countering terrorism fighting crime and
introducing reforms. The simultaneous characteristics of both being a practitioner
and a scholar are seldom seen in a police officer. The Inspector General of Police, KP,
Mr. Nasir Khan Durrani is one of those God-gifted genius people of the world who
have been endowed with both the qualities of sword and pen. While being on the
battlefield to lead and encourage the force and then reflect on the experiences for
creating more knowledge is a marvelous attribute of the selected people. The book
‘Policing with Passion’ is full of such examples of the police leadership in KP Province.
While the book will be critically evaluated and commented upon by scholars
across the world, it has ushered an era of preserving and reminding us the thrilling
moments of leading a police force which has been facing terrible challenges of
countering terrorism and absorbing the after-shocks of militancy in the adjacent
tribal areas and across the Durand Line. It is generally said that “excellence comes in
millimeters,” but the KP Police have many laurels of excellence to their caps. The
various reforms and initiatives, introduced by the IGP, KP in the last three years are
now presented to the readers, researchers, policy-makers and practitioners for a
genuine and critical debate. The book is a must read for the officers of law-enforcing
agencies and the people involved in the criminal justice system. The book can be
found on the official website of KP Police (http://kppolice.gov.pk/thebook/)
