RAWALPINDI: Regional Police Officer (RPO) Syed Khurram Ali Shah assumed charge on Monday.

On arrival in the office, senior staff members briefed the RPO on various issues

Like his predecessors, the RPO vowed to combat criminal elements and preserve supremacy of law and merit.

He told the officials that according to the responsibilities assigned to them, they should perform their duties in a professional manner.

Criminal elements will be cracked down under the best and effective strategy and special measures will be taken to further improve public service delivery, he added.
