Law enforcement in Pakistan: Difference between revisions

Law enforcement in Pakistan ({{lang-ur|ادارہ ہائی نفاذِ قانون، پاکستان}}; [[Devanagari]]: ''इदारा हाई नफ़ाज़े-क़ानून, पाकिस्तान '') constitutes one of the three primary components of the country's criminal justice system, alongside the judiciary and the prison system. Pakistan features a combination of federal, provincial, and territorial police forces that perform both general and specialised functions. The senior positions within all provincial forces, as well as most federal agencies, are typically filled by members of the Police Service of Pakistan (PSP). The PSP is regarded as one of the most prestigious branches of the [[Central Superior Services]], which is Pakistan's principal civil service organization. Federal law enforcement agencies are primarily supervised by the Ministry of Interior of the Government of Pakistan, while the provincial police forces are managed by respective departments of the provincial government.
