April 22, Kathmandu – Inspector General of Police Dan Bahadur Karki has instructed all police personnel to strictly adhere to exemplary conduct, language, and ethics, ensuring there are no deficiencies in service delivery in accordance with public expectations. Delivering guidance and addressing officers on various timely topics through a virtual meeting organized by the Nepal Police Headquarters on Wednesday, IGP Karki emphasized this directive.
IGP Karki highlighted the need to effectively implement government policies and programs by prioritizing information gathering and analysis in every district to prevent crimes. He urged adopting necessary security strategies and deploying police personnel effectively. He stressed that those involved in the production, trafficking, and trade of illegal drugs must be brought under legal action, while users should be targeted through rehabilitative programs, calling for increased police activism in these areas.
On border points, IGP Karki directed the police to implement a “zero tolerance” policy against potential criminal activities and smuggling. He called for harsher and ruthless measures against hooliganism, prompt enforcement of court decisions, and diligence in apprehending fugitives.
Underlining the importance of police proactivity and effectiveness to maintain peace and order in society, Inspector General Karki stated that all police personnel must demonstrate high professionalism and commitment to their responsibilities to strengthen the police force’s reputation internationally.
He emphasized prioritizing the community policing partnership program and delivering appropriate information through citizen hearings. Police employees must rise above personal interests to fulfill organizational objectives and goals. He further warned that any police personnel involved in unprofessional activities will face legal consequences.
The program was attended virtually by notable officials including Deputy Inspector General of Police and Central Police Spokesperson Abi Narayan Kafle, Senior Superintendent of Police, chiefs and representatives from the Kathmandu Valley Police Office, all seven provincial police offices, Nepal Police Provincial Offices, Highway Security and Traffic Management Office, Provincial Police Training Centers, Nepal Police Special Security Battalion and Provincial Police Battalions, District Police Headquarters and offices, and subordinated units handling ongoing cases.
