Islamabad Traffic Police is a "model traffic police force" formed under the Capital Territory Police in 2006 to "bring a new and healthy change in the traffic system" in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. The Police Department was established on the pattern of an earlier success story in Pakistan, National Highways and Motorways Police (NH&MP) which was established in 1997. The Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) came of age between 2007 - 2010 and came to be known as a corruption free and equal application of law police organization. Mr. Sultan Azim Temuri, Senior Superintendent of Police, and Mr. Ashfaq Ahmad Khan, Superintendent of Police, are considered the two pioneering officers of the Police Service of Pakistan (PSP) who provided police leadership in the planning, organization, development and sustainability of this widely acclaimed police organization. The organization was awarded ISO 9001: 2008 certification on 23 June 2009 for introducing state of the art Driver's License, First Police Radio Station, (ITP FM 92.4 ), the new laws of prohibition on using mobile phone while driving and the wearing of seat-belt while driving, and client-oriented policing service in Pakistan. Hallmark of this traffic police department is that Rule of Law prevails on the roads of Islamabad, and Driver's Licenses are issued to only the qualified drivers after through testing of driving ability and medical fitness. The organization also has a Traffic Theme Park and Drving School for the education of school kids and driving training to the aspirants. Eversince the ITP took over the control in Islamabad, the incidents of road accidents have decreased, and drivers are seen wearing seat belts and avoiding to use mobile phone while driving, indicators of rule of law hardly seen in many other cities of Pakistan and other developing countries of South Asia and world as a whole. The police force is responsible for the enforcement of laws (rules ), education of traffic laws to the community, issuance of driver' licenses to qualified drivers, advice to the Capital Development Authority (CDA)on road Engineering issues, and regulation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic on highways, avenues and roads of Islamabad and is rated as second corruption free police organization in Pakistan, after National Highways and Motorways Police. The department is, however, unable to enforce a system of points for traffic violations, and only levies monetary fines to the vilators, thus deterrent effects on violators have not been produced. ==Objectives== * Education/ Awareness in educational institution and other non-professional and non-professional organizations. * Mass awareness about road safety through a well decorated float established on 20 wheels trailer. * Radio program. * Distribution of hand bills and pamphlets at roads along with briefing. * Road safety awareness walks. * Speech competition. * Road safety seminar. * Road safety gala. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Islamabad Traffic Police」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
