Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police has opened the 'district police complaint office' here at Mallik Saad Shaheed Police line. While briefing the spokesperson for the KP government, Shaukat Yousafzai, the Capital city police officer (CCPO), Qazi Jamil ur Rehman said that the complaint office has been opened to provide immediate relief to the public against their grievances against the police officials.

"This office will reduce the gap between the public and police force," said Qazi Jamil while talking to the media. The police officer said that complaints cell is also connected through the latest technology and the public can any time register complaints against the police online. It is pertinent to mention here that complaints offices have already been opened in the Chief Minister house, governor house, and even at Prime Minister House in Islamabad where the public can register the complaints against any government department. The KP police have also a complaints cell, however, the police officer said that the purpose of the new office is to convey the complaints against the police straight to the concerned officials without wasting of time. The office will receive complaints only against the Peshawar district Police.
