In just 60 days, Inspector General of Police Islamabad, Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi, has emerged as a symbol of hope, safety, and reform in the federal capital. With unwavering commitment and a people-first approach, he has spearheaded a transformation that has not only curbed crime but also restored public trust in the police force—a feat many deemed impossible.

Restoring Peace Through Iron Resolve

From the moment he assumed office, IGP Rizvi launched a relentless crackdown against criminal elements, resulting in a significant drop in crime across Islamabad. His bold strategies and swift actions sent a clear message: Islamabad will not be a safe haven for criminals.

Service Around the Clock – Khidmat Markaz 24/7

Recognizing the value of accessibility, IGP Rizvi ordered the Police Khidmat Markaz to operate 24/7, ensuring citizens can access essential services any time. He further introduced a mobile police service van, bringing police assistance directly to citizens’ doorsteps—an unprecedented step in citizen facilitation.

Innovative Outreach – From Margalla Hills to City Streets

To safeguard nature lovers and tourists, IGP Rizvi launched the Margalla Trails Patrol, a specialized unit dedicated to ensuring safety across Islamabad’s famous trails. Meanwhile, the reorganized Dolphin Squad now features energetic young officers, highly trained to respond rapidly to street crime threats.

Empowering the Vulnerable – Helpline 1815 & Virtual Women Police Station

With empathy and foresight, IGP Rizvi introduced a 24/7 dedicated helpline (1815) and a Virtual Women Police Station to combat gender-based violence and protect vulnerable citizens. These initiatives provide not just safety but empowerment through access to justice.

Smart Policing – Digital and Human Innovation

From online e-licenses to the Khuli Kachehri digital forums, Rizvi made citizen interaction seamless and transparent. Helplines 1715 and 1915 now offer instant access to police support and vehicle-related assistance. His emphasis on AI integration in the Safe City project reflects his vision of technology-driven law enforcement.

Honoring the Fallen, Empowering the Force

Under Rizvi’s leadership, Islamabad Police redefined its commitment to its own. He initiated the “Mubeen Cottages” project for the families of martyrs and ensured merit-based promotions, Shujaat and Ghazi medals, and job quotas for the children of fallen heroes. For him, every officer’s sacrifice is sacred.

Community First – Friendly Policing in Action

Breaking barriers between the police and public, Rizvi launched the “Friend of Police” Internship Program, opening doors for students to work with the force and understand police work firsthand. A self-defense training program also empowered everyday citizens, including women, to protect themselves—mentally and physically.

Strengthening the Ranks

To ensure efficiency, Rizvi fast-tracked the recruitment of 1113 new officers, forming elite units like the Ababeel Squad to combat street crime, and reinforcing the Special Protection Unit to safeguard foreign nationals, particularly Chinese citizens a gesture that earned him international appreciation.

A Leader Who Leads From the Front

Whether it was spending Eid with martyrs’ families, distributing gifts to his force, or personally supervising city-wide security operations for three straight days, IGP Rizvi demonstrated that true leadership lies in action, not just words.

Vision for the Future

Speaking at various forums, IGP Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi emphasized,

“Peace and security are not just the responsibility of the police they’re the foundation of a thriving society. With the support of citizens, we can build a safe, progressive, and united Islamabad.”

A New Era for Islamabad

In just two months, IGP Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi has achieved what few could in years. With courage, compassion, and clarity of vision, he has restored faith in the badge, proving that with the right leadership, reform isn’t just a possibility it’s a promise fulfilled.
