- W865844074 abstract "AbstractThe effectiveness of the law enforcement agencies is quite essential for provision of good public services to masses and ensuring law and order. Traffic Police is an important component of policing that secures lives through proper implementation of traffic laws. A study was conducted in twin cities Rawalpindi and Islamabad to explore the effectiveness of the new Traffic Police system and to judge how it performed comparatively better than that of old traffic police. A Random sample of 266 respondents who possessed driving licenses and driving vehicles was drawn from public and private sector institutions and from general public. This included university faculty, drivers in the university departments, taxi and bus drivers and general public driving their personal vehicles. A pre designed questionnaire was used to collect data through field surveys. The study reported that NTP are fair in their dealings with public, have good attitudes in terms of traffic regulation. They provide safety to all road users without discrimination and ensure rule of law through equal application. They strictly follow rules, are having courteous attitude, have mature dealing with public and arrive timely in case of the accident. It was concluded that such type of cultural change needs to be planned in general police especially those working in police stations.Key words: Old Traffic Police, New Traffic Police, Attitude, BehaviorIntroductionIn the modern times, legislature, judiciary, executive and media are considered as the main pillars of a sovereign state; while army and bureaucracy as state apparatus. In Pakistan, police department comes under administration which works under the interior ministry at central as well as provincial level. Even after independence, Pakistan followed more than eighty years' old police system introduced by the British in Indo-Pak.(Suddle, 2001).

The purpose was to control the masses and it presented an outlook of British government to safeguard and back the interests of the rulers instead of fair and transparent enforcement of law (Griffiths, 1971).Like other departments prevalence of corruption in police department has resulted in many social ills and consequently losing the trust of masses. One wing of police department is responsible to deal with matters concerning road traffic and there is other wing which controls crimes, maintains law and order and other such matters. The job of traffic police includes ensuring life security and implementation of traffic rules and regulations. Several attempts were made by different governments to reform the police department as per modern lines.The change took place when the government initiated a new system of the traffic police including Motorway Police. The extra ordinary performance of Motorway Police made decision makers introduce such reforms in other wings of police. In this regard, both Federal and the Punjab Governments decided to introduce New Traffic Police in Capital Territory and Traffic Warden System in few major cities of the Punjab Province. New Traffic Police (Islamabad Traffic Police) is a model traffic police force which is formed under the Capital Territory Police in 2006 by the Federal Government. New Police System was introduced to bring a new and healthy change in the traffic system in the capital city of Islamabad while by the same token in 2008, Traffic Warden System (TWS) was introduced in Rawalpindi City and also implemented across the district including areas of Mandra, Kahuta, Kallar Syedan, Rawat, and Gujar Khan by the Government of the Punjab.Although most of the public sector organizations including police has not earned a good image in the public eyes yet Pakistan Motorway Police (PMP) has changed image and got confidence in the eyes of public due to exceptional performance within a short span of time. …" @default.
