Superintendent of South Yorkshire Police Kevin Morton has said that Pakistani police officers have the ability to learn new policing techniques and will come up to international standards soon.

He was talking at a dinner hosted by the British Council in Lahore on Wednesday in honour of a visiting four-member South Yorkshire Police delegation consisting of Mr Morton, Mohammad Aref, police ambassador and coordinator between Yorkshire and Punjab Police, and forensics officers Christopher Gillies and Gary Atkinson. The delegation conducted a three-day training programme for 57 deputy superintendents, assistant superintendents and superintendents of Punjab Police at the Police Training School in Chung. âWe have taught the Pakistani cops new techniques of community policing, forensic science, professional standards and training methodology and hope our training will help them upgrade their investigations,â said Mr Morton.

âSouth Yorkshire Police aims to continue to build good working relationships with the police forces in Pakistan in the spirit of true friendship and partnership, to incorporate and explore new and existing ideas about sharing intelligence systems policing and training methods.â South Yorkshire is a county in the north of England that has a high percentage of people of Pakistani origin. |
