Examples should be made out of these criminals. Don't they do proper due diligence before hiring for police, as in criminal background checks etc.

In fact the police force in Pakistan is more criminal than the criminals themselves! Actually the criminals are the creation of the Law Enforcement Agencies. To act as their feet, eyes and ears, the police uses an informer who obliges the police with his own whims and fancies to remain in its good books. This first link serve the purpose to form a chain of criminal events. There are many more such reasons within that leads to breeding criminals and criminal activities. In short politicizing institutions is the root cause of crimes.
