\"\"ISLAMABAD:\u00a0 U.S. Ambassador David Blome and\u00a0 Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti jointly inaugurated Balochistan Police Training College, not in Quetta but in Islamabad at Balochistan House. Inspector General Balochistan Police Khalique Ahmad Sheikh was also present at the occasion. Police Training College campus in Quetta, is a four-year, $5.35 million dollar partnership funded by the U.S. Embassy\u2019s International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Section.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n
Ambassador David Blome, in his address at the ceremony said, “The seven new and four renovated buildings not only triple the Police Training College\u2019s capacity, but they also ensure new recruits and officers will receive the high-quality, skills-based training they need to deploy in some of Pakistan\u2019s most challenging areas. With the completion of this new facility, the men and women trained at PTC Quetta will be far better prepared than their predecessors to address the tremendous risks and challenges they face every day in the line of duty.”<\/h5>\n
US Embassy has scheduled delivery of $900,000 worth of radio communication equipment\u00a0 35 mine detectors, and recently provided $700,000 worth of vehicles and $195,000 worth of blast suppression equipment, all of which will greatly enhance operations and security across the province.<\/h5>\n
“Beyond this training center, we have helped Pakistan secure its borders, fight narcotics trafficking, and combat terrorism. INL has provided lifesaving protective equipment, improved law enforcement training curriculum, built and upgraded police stations, and helped ensure gender-inclusive policing. Taken together, these actions make Pakistan safer, stronger, and more secure, said the Ambassador.<\/h5>\n
Mr. Blome said that he wanted to recognize the special effort to recruit more women police, create gender desks in police stations, and increase facilities to serve women and underserved communities.<\/h5>\n
“Last year, Balochistan Police officer Zarghoona Manzoor was recognized for a worldwide leadership award at an international conference for women police. Zarghoona, formerly a stay-at-home mother, joined the force after her husband was killed serving in the Balochistan Police. She now leads Balochistan\u2019s first women\u2019s police station. Women officers like Zarghoona improve the entire force\u2019s operational effectiveness and efficiency and enhance the quality of service offered to all Pakistanis, especially those from underrepresented communities, Ambassador noted.<\/strong> <\/span><\/h5>\n
