Islamabad – Now Among the Safest Cities in the World:

Islamabad is setting a new standard for urban safety. Under the dynamic leadership of Inspector General of Police (IGP) Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi, who took charge in April 2024, the Islamabad Police has achieved a remarkable 20% drop in the crime rate in 2025, making the city one of the safest globally.

According to Numbeo’s World Safety Index, Islamabad now ranks 93rd out of 380 cities, ahead of international metropolises like London, New York, Moscow, and Barcelona.

🔒 Key Highlights of IGP’s Reform Vision:

✅ 600 fewer crimes reported, including a sharp decline in robbery, murder, and vehicle theft.
✅ Upgraded Safe City Project and AI-based monitoring using Hunch Lab and Virtual Patrolling Officers.
✅ Introduction of Police Station on Wheels and fully operational Helpline-1715 for instant FIR registration and public complaint resolution.

💙 Empowering the Force:

The well-being of police officers was prioritized through Mubeen Cottages, promotions, medical MoUs, and the Capital Police College’s modern training workshops.
