Inspector General of Police Shoaib Dastgir said that every officer and official in force deserves the basic right of departmental promotion based upon merit and seniority so performance indicators should be kept in view for assessment of performance of officers and officials serving in offices and field because field staff has to face more punishments as compared with officers and officials serving in offices.
These views were expressed by him while directing the officers in executive board session on Tuesday at Central Police Office. Promotion rules of junior rank officers besides other departmental issues were discussed in detail.
The IG said that, with respect to promotion rules, professional training, field experience and performance evaluation report along with other matters of officers and officials must be kept in view whereas complete transparency, impartiality and observance of SOPs should be made part in process of promotions.
