Sir: Fortunately, the police in Sindh get the salary they deserve which really augurs well. One reason for corruption in the police department is low salaries. With the recent raise in police salaries, it is expected that corruption in the Sindh police department will come down along with the crime rate. The IG Sindh should also introduce a performance-based criterion to increase salaries and bonuses regularly in the force. The police department is one of the most corrupt departments in the country. Therefore, there is a need to show zero tolerance for corruption and corrupt police officials. Above all, the IG should also clean the force of criminal elements and start building a proper, gender-responsive police force which the people of the province can trust. It is time to recruit highly educated people in the police department. Hashim Abro Islamabad
