The Islamabad Capital Territory Police (ICTP) is the principal law enforcement agency responsible for maintaining peace, security, and public order in Pakistan’s federal capital. Established in 1981 under Presidential Orders No. 17 & 18 of 1980, ICTP protects over 2.5 million residents while ensuring the safety of federal institutions, 84 diplomatic missions, and international delegations. Islamabad Police also safeguards the city’s commercial centers and ensures the safety and smooth transit of thousands of daily commuters.
ICTP operates through the Central Police Office (CPO), which comprises five core divisions: Operations, Security, Law & Order, Safe City, and Logistics. Together, these divisions manage frontline policing, administrative and resource management, strategic security coordination, and the city’s technologically advanced surveillance infrastructure.
The organization is further supported by specialized units such as the Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP), Counter Terrorism Department (CTD), Special Branch, Dolphin Squad, Anti-Riot Unit, and the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA), each contributing to a multi-faceted and integrated policing framework. To ensure comprehensive coverage, ICTP administers 27 police stations across five zones: City, Saddar, Rural, Industrial Area, and Soan.
Committed to modern, citizen-centered policing, ICTP continues to expand technology-enabled services, including the Safe City Command & Control Center, Khidmat Markaz, Online Women Police Station, Pukar-15 emergency helpline, Taxi Verification System (TVS), 1-INFO, and the ICTP Mobile App.
Through the dedication of its uniformed officers and professional civilian staff, Islamabad Police remains steadfast in its mission to ensure that the capital remains one of the safest, most secure, and best-governed cities in Pakistan.
Our mission is to enhance safety and public confidence in the federal capital by collaborating with citizens to uphold the law, maintain peace, protect communities, ensure smooth mobility, and preserve order with professionalism and integrity.
Islamabad Police envisions a safe, resilient, and inclusive capital city where community-centered policing guides every aspect of our service. By building trust, embracing modern technology, enhancing operational readiness, and addressing the factors that contribute to crime and disorder, we aim to create a secure environment for residents, visitors, diplomatic missions, and all who enter the city.
