In a commendable move to promote transparency, public engagement, and accountability, Inspector General of Police (IGP) Islamabad Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi held an open court at the Central Police Office Islamabad.

The session was part of the Islamabad Police’s ongoing efforts to build stronger relationships between law enforcement and the public. Citizens and police personnel were given an open forum to voice their concerns directly to the capital’s top police official.

“Resolving the issues of our citizens on merit is our foremost priority,” stated IGP Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi. “Negligence or carelessness in duty will not be tolerated. My office is always open for the people.”

Prompt Action on Public Concerns

During the open court, IGP Rizvi personally listened to the concerns of the public as well as police officials and issued immediate directives to senior officers for redressal. Matters were not only acknowledged but also assigned clear instructions for timely and merit-based resolution.

He emphasized that open courts are not just symbolic, but an active mechanism to ensure that issues are addressed at the highest level without delay or bureaucracy.

Strict Orders for District Police Officials

IGP Rizvi further instructed all SDPOs (Sub-Divisional Police Officers) and SHOs (Station House Officers) to:

  • Strictly follow designated office hours
  • Meet with citizens regularly
  • Resolve public grievances promptly and fairly
  • Report back on outcomes to the Central Police Office

He stressed the importance of professional conduct and public service, urging all officers to perform their duties with responsibility, dedication, and empathy.

Ongoing Citizen Facilitation Initiatives

The IGP highlighted that the daily open court model is becoming a pillar of community policing, ensuring that citizens’ voices are heard and acted upon without unnecessary delay. This initiative is part of a broader citizen-centric vision being implemented under his leadership.

“We are taking all necessary measures to ensure Islamabad Police becomes a model of service, transparency, and public trust,” said Rizvi.

Conclusion

The Islamabad Police under IGP Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi continues to set high standards for public service delivery and institutional accountability. Open courts not only provide relief to citizens but also reinforce a culture of trust, responsiveness, and open-door governance in the federal capital.
