In a significant development, Lahore has reported a remarkable 46% reduction in crimes for October 2024 compared to the same month last year. This positive trend was highlighted in a report compiled from data collected through the emergency helpline, 15. The Lahore Police have credited this decline to effective law enforcement strategies, which include enhanced patrolling and a systematic approach to addressing serious offenses like robbery, burglary, and murder
The City Police Chief (CCPO) of Lahore noted that the reduction in motorcycle thefts—from over 130 cases daily earlier this year to between 30 to 50—exemplifies the effectiveness of their measures. The police have also made strides in addressing a backlog of pending cases and in dealing with proclaimed offenders, contributing to a more secure environment for residents
These improvements come as part of broader efforts to bolster public safety and restore citizens’ trust in law enforcement. The proactive strategies implemented by the police have shown promising results, raising hopes for continued crime reduction in the future
