DG&IGP MA Saleem has identified drugs and cybercrime as two of the most serious challenges currently facing the police. He also pointed to financial frauds and organised crime as major threats that demand sustained attention from law enforcement.
The remarks underline how policing priorities are shifting beyond conventional crime. Alongside narcotics cases, police agencies are dealing with a growing volume of online offences and fraud-related complaints, making technology-driven crime a central concern.
Saleem also issued a strong warning on accountability within the force. He said strict action would be taken if any police personnel were found helping offenders, signalling a hard line against internal misconduct while tackling organised criminal networks.
His comments reflect a broader emphasis on tightening enforcement, improving vigilance and ensuring that police responses remain focused on emerging threats such as cybercrime, financial fraud and the drug trade.
