Message from Secretary Ministry of
Interior |

The launching of the FIA website is a
landmark in the history of law enforcement in Pakistan. In
view of the changing global crime scenario, particularly after
9/11, criminal syndicates are operating across borders with the
help of modern electronic equipment and means of communication.
FIA is the only
federal law enforcement apparatus empowered to arrest,
investigate and prosecute criminals throughout the country.
Its professional mandate includes counter-terrorism, human
smuggling & trafficking, cyber crime, terrorists related
money laundering etc. FIA has developed various modern
databases to support its investigative work. Most modern
equipment to check document fraudulency is also available with
FIA.
The global communication system of the
Interpol (I-24/7) is connected with FIA and soon four provincial
police forces, Customs and ANF would have connectivity with
Interpol headquarters.
It is my considered opinion that speedy and
timely receipt of information is vital to interdict crime.
Besides official channels, public participation in policing has
become increasingly important especially in our fight against
terrorism. The website would provide an informal
channel to public for providing information without personal
involvement.
The website intends to provide information on
its activities and areas, which are crucially important for
public knowledge. Public would be encouraged to ask
questions and lodge complaints against FIA's working and its
staff and also make suggestions to improve its working.
I wish FIA every success in its efforts to
make law enforcement as people's friendly as envisioned by the Police
Order 2002.
