KEY POINTS
- Islamabad police launches ‘1INFO’ app with emergency panic and info sharing features
- Pakistan’s first online women’s police station offers 24/7 support through helpline 1815
- ‘Police Station on Wheels’ brings mobile policing to Islamabad’s public spaces
ISLAMABAD: Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Police has launched a mobile app and Pakistan’s first fully functional online women’s police station to enhance public safety and accessibility.
The initiatives aim to provide faster, tech-driven law enforcement services, including emergency support, confidential reporting, and virtual assistance for women facing abuse or harassment.
At the heart of this transformation is 1INFO, a newly launched citizen-friendly mobile application, designed to put safety and swift communication just a tap away.
Backed by the Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Raza Naqvi and executed under the Inspector General of Police Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi, this app is more than just a tool — it’s a lifeline.
One Tap to Safety
Available on the Islamabad Police website, Google Play, and Apple Store, the 1INFO app offers two key features that turn any smartphone into a direct link to law enforcement.
The Emergency Panic Button allows users in distress to instantly summon help, triggering a location-based alert to rescue teams.
The Information Sharing Button empowers citizens to send voice messages, videos, or images to police confidentially, making community vigilance a two-way street.
“This app is not just a tech upgrade; it’s a trust bridge between citizens and their protectors,” said ICT police spokesperson Taqi Jawad, talking to WE News English. “Privacy remains a top priority — no data is shared unless legally required,” he maintained.
Virtual Shield for Women
In another groundbreaking step, Islamabad Police launched Pakistan’s first fully functional Online women’s Police Station, offering 24/7 protection and justice through a single helpline: 1815.
Whether facing domestic abuse, harassment, or gender-based violence, women no longer need to step outside their homes to be heard.
With services such as video calling, online chat support, and doorstep FIR registration, the initiative aims to remove barriers and fear, replacing them with confidence and access.
“This station is not just virtual — it’s emotional safety, legal empowerment, and justice wrapped into a digital framework,” said Taqi Jawad, ICT police spokesperson.
Taking the Station to the Streets
For citizens on the move, the ICT Police has launched the innovative ‘Police Station on Wheels’, a mobile van equipped to deliver essential police services across Islamabad.
From lodging complaints and verifying characters to criminal record checks and general queries, the van is hitting public spaces daily from July 28 to August 3.
Its route covers key locations like F-9 Park, District Court G-11, I-8 Markaz, Faisal Masjid, Pakistan Monument, and more, making law enforcement visible, mobile, and available.
“This isn’t just about convenience — it’s about rebuilding the social contract between the police and the people,” remarked a senior official.
