About Dr. Akbar Nasir Khan – Current IG Islamabad
He is a civil servant in Pakistan, and I have been passionate about start-ups, reforms, and institution building since 1995. I have led large teams of professionals in the public sector and worked in multi-ethnic and multi-cultural settings in Pakistan, Kosovo, and Sudan during both peace and conflict times.

From 2015 to 2020, I pioneered and developed the Punjab Safe Cities Authority in Punjab, and I also contributed to the reform of the National Counter Terrorism Authority of Pakistan in 2014-2015. Additionally, I have authored two books on the subjects of safe cities, changing police culture, and privacy in Pakistan.
