"Sindh has the honour to have the oldest police force in South Asia, therefore our police must be well trained, well-equipped, well behaved and thoroughly professional."
This he said while addressing a programme organised to distribute offer letters among the newly Sindh Public Service Commission (SPSC) pass Assistant Sub-Inspectors (ASI) here at Police Training School Larkana. The ceremony was attended by CM Senior Advisor Nisar Khuhro, Provincial Minister Sohail Anwar Siyal, MNA Khursheed Junejo, PPP leader Jameel Soomro and IG Sindh Mushtaq Maher.
The CM said that the Sindh police was the oldest police force in South Asia, therefore its performance, efficiency and professionalism must be upto the mark.
He said that the Sindh police have some old model GSM locators for which he directed the Inspector General of Police to upgrade them and purchase other gadgets and weapons. "No matter whatever it would cost to the government, he would arrange," he assured the police department.
Congratulating the newly SPSC pass 93 ASIs, including six females, Shah said that the police service was a sacred profession because the policemen have to work for safety, security and protection of people's life and property.
He told the newly recruited ASIs that they were going to wear a uniform which has its importance and respect in the society. "Now, your [police] uniform has become your skin and you have to enhance its respect and dignity in the society," he urged the new ASIs.
The CM said that the Sindh police have rendered a lot of sacrifices in restoration of law and order in the province, particularly in Karachi. "Karachi was bleeding because of terrorism but the police along with other law enforcement agencies eliminated terrorism from our society," he said and added today Karachi has become a peaceful city where business, cultural and educational activities are flourishing and its credit goes to the police.

He said that the position of ASIs was most important as far as field duty was concerned. "You have a long career and you will assail if you adopt principles of honesty, integrity, hard-work and dedication. In the field it is the lower rank policemen who fight against outlaws bravely, and the recent example of bravery and dutifulness is ASI Mohammad Bux Buriro of Kashmore police who put his daughter's life at risk and got a lady and her daughter freed from the clutches of abductors," he said and added that this one act of ASI Buriro have lifted the head of all policemen in Sindh high in proud.
