Biometric attendance for police cops
Editorial
In a move to streamline attendance and boost accountability, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has implemented biometric attendance system for health and education departments’ employees. However, a critical sector remains overlooked – the police department. So, it is high time to extend this technology to the police force, where attendance irregularities have long plagued effective law enforcement.
The current manual attendance system in police stations is vulnerable to manipulation, allowing officials to mark themselves present while absent, compromising the integrity of law and order maintenance. This malpractice not only undermines discipline but also hampers the overall performance of the police department.
Biometric attendance offers a foolproof solution, enabling real-time monitoring and accurate tracking of police personnel’s presence. With just a click, the police high-ups can access attendance records of any police station in the province, ensuring transparency and accountability.
Implementation of biometric attendance in police stations will curb absenteeism and bogus attendance, enhance discipline and professionalism, optimize workforce utilization, improve response times and public service delivery, and facilitate data-driven decision-making.
By embracing biometric attendance, KP can set a precedent for good governance in the police department, aligning with global best practices. So, it is imperative to bridge this technological gap and bring the police force into the digital age.
Therefore, the KP government must prioritize the introduction of biometric attendance system in all the police stations, ensuring a more efficient, transparent, and effective law enforcement machinery. Only then we can hope to achieve the desired goals of public trust and safety. So, let technology empower our police force to serve and protect with integrity and accountability.
