The Punjab government has announced a major upgrade to its law enforcement and traffic systems by adopting advanced policing technologies inspired by Japan.
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz revealed the initiative during her official visit to Tokyo, where she reviewed Japan’s integrated policing and emergency response systems.
Traffic System to be Upgraded Across Punjab
As part of the project, Punjab’s traffic management infrastructure will be overhauled with the introduction of smart traffic control systems, surveillance enhancements, and automated response tools. Lahore will serve as the pilot city for the new framework, where a Japanese-style traffic model will be implemented first.
The initiative aims to improve traffic regulation, reduce accident response time, and integrate real-time data sharing across police departments.
Introduction of Infrared and Ultrasonic Tools
To modernize policing standards, Punjab will deploy infrared and ultrasonic systems for surveillance and field monitoring. These technologies, widely used in Japan, are expected to improve detection capabilities and reduce delays in emergency responses.
Virtual Police Stations and Digital Integration
In line with the initiative, the government plans to establish virtual police stations and expand digital reporting channels. Mobile applications will also be developed to facilitate citizen access to emergency services, traffic updates, and complaint registration.
This digital infrastructure will be complemented by CCTV surveillance and enhanced data analytics to aid in crime tracking and resource deployment.
Japanese Expertise to Be Incorporated Locally
Officials from Japan’s National Police Agency briefed the Punjab delegation on operational protocols, centralized data systems, and inter-agency coordination mechanisms. Punjab’s government intends to replicate aspects of this model, including centralized monitoring and evidence-based decision-making.
Training programs and technical partnerships are also expected to be part of the implementation phase.
