According to a Punjab Police spokesperson, official notifications of promoted officers have been dispatched to their respective districts. Among those elevated to sub-inspector rank are 54 officers from Lahore, 53 from Gujranwala, 25 from Sahiwal, and 67 from Multan.

Meanwhile, Punjab Police held the closing ceremony of the 11th batch of its Internship Program at the Central Police Office, Lahore, featuring 24 students from Lahore Garrison University and Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences, Jamshoro.
The interns—specializing in digital forensics, cyber security, and forensic biology—were divided into five groups and attached to key departments, including the Special Branch, CTD, Safe Cities Authority, Investigation Branch, and IT Branch, for a six-week training.
During the closing ceremony, the interns presented reports highlighting their field experiences.
