Crime Control Department (CCD) is a special wing of Punjab police, which was established in February 2025 to deal with a serious and organized crime in the province.[1] It is working with the authority to establish an independent order, its own police station, and the first information reports (FIR).[2][3]
History
[edit]CCD was created through an amendment to the Police Order 2002 via the Police (Amendment) Ordinance 2025.[4][5] Its formation was aimed at improving the investigation and prosecution of high-profile crimes, including land grabbing, extortion, kidnapping, and organized gang activity.[6][7]
Structure
[edit]This section is led by an Additional Inspector General (Adel. IG), supported by Deputy Inspector General (DIGS), SSP, SPS and other officials. By 2025, about 4,250 employees are deployed under CCD in all districts of Punjab.[8]
Functions
[edit]CCD investigates crimes such as murder, dacoity, extortion, vehicle theft and kidnapping for ransom.[2] It runs its own police stations, uses modern surveillance tools, including drone and crime-mapping software Fatware, and collaborates with other security agencies where necessary.[9]
Funding
[edit]The Punjab government has allocated Rs 5.56 billion for the establishment of CCD covering infrastructure, recruitment, equipment and IT systems.[9]
