DPO Shahzad Rafique Awan personally listened to each complaint presented by community members, demonstrating the police department's commitment to accessible justice.
During the sessions, numerous citizens came forward with their grievances, which the DPO addressed one by one. He instructed the concerned police officers present at the courts to take immediate action on each case, ensuring that problems didn't get delayed in bureaucratic processes.
Immediate Resolution of Issues
The initiative proved highly effective, with several public issues being resolved on the spot during the open court proceedings. This immediate response mechanism provided quick relief to citizens who had been struggling with various law and order concerns.
DPO Awan emphasized that police stations serve as the primary access point to justice for ordinary people. He stressed that every complainant must be treated with utmost respect and courtesy, receiving full attention from police personnel in accordance with legal procedures.
Building Community Trust
The District Police Officer highlighted that timely resolution of public issues is crucial for strengthening trust between the police force and the community it serves. He reiterated that the Bhakkar police are making every possible effort to provide immediate relief to citizens facing problems.
This innovative approach underscores the police administration's strong commitment to enhancing cooperation with the public and ensuring swift justice delivery at the grassroots level. The open courts represent a practical step toward making police services more responsive and citizen-friendly in the Bhakkar district.
The successful implementation of these open courts has set a positive precedent for future community engagement initiatives, demonstrating that direct dialogue between police officials and citizens can effectively address local concerns while building mutual understanding and trust.
