This is with reference to the column No security in an insecure country (22Feb). The continuous threat that the security personnel, especially the police force face is seldom brought under debate or consideration. The undernourished police department with its shabby working environment provide dismal hope for a better future and certainly do nothing for the motivation level that ought to be kept high in order to function effectively. This demoralizes the forces that in turn become instrumental in institutionalizing an unprofessional attitude that detaches them from their primary duty that is to maintain safety, security, peace and order in society. This trend can, however can very easily be reversed by exercising the governments will so that they can become a truly organized, cohesive and effective force that the society is in dire need of keeping in view the rise in terror incidents. For this purpose, two brilliantly successful models in the form of the Motorway Police and Islamabad Traffic Police are readily available in the indigenous context that ought to be followed. They should be implemented as soon as possible. The need for a concrete will is being felt with more desperation for which the authorities need to wake up and start working for a change.
