LAHORE: Punjab Police and the Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) have taken a major step toward digital policing by launching the Pehchaan safety app. This mobile application helps citizens verify the criminal background of domestic workers, drivers, and shop employees before hiring.
The initiative aims to prevent fraud, theft, and other crimes by providing quick access to police records. Users simply enter a person’s CNIC number into the app to instantly check their criminal history using official databases.
Officials described the Pehchaan safety app as a key part of the Punjab Police’s broader digital safety campaign. The campaign focuses on protecting homes, offices, and businesses across the province.
Authorities strongly urge citizens to use the app before hiring anyone. This precaution helps ensure personal and property security.
The app is free to download from Google Play and the App Store. Officials expect it to reduce hiring scams and boost public trust in employment practices.
