intelligence units, formed at the cop shoppe level in the federal capital to eliminate networks of criminals, have started functioning. As many as 36 police officials have been deputed in the intelligence units.
According to the police, the units have been formed in all cop shoppes, while two officials from each of the 18 stations in Islamabad have been chosen to make up a team that will trace the networks of criminals.
This two-member unit at each station will perform the executive functions of intelligence gathering and will keep their station house officers (SHO) and senior officers in the loop regarding the activities in their own areas. They will also highlight the aspects that require special attention from the police force.
