Often these training centresdo not have basic facilities or adequate accommodation. For instance, at Lahore’sManawan Campus of Chung Police Training School there are only twelve toiletsfor 800 recruits and no provision for showers. In fact, no medical facilities areavailable at the training school and 30 per cent of the recruits routinely misstheir training schedules due to illness. 101Another problem is that the training of new recruits is largely focused onrudimentary physical training and not on the cultivation of skills. In addition,new equipment is rarely evident at training schools and internationaldevelopments in the field of policing are not normally taught. Moreover, due tothe lack of resources, the overwhelming majority of training schools in Pakistanare without proper classrooms, libraries, forensic units, computer equipmentand arms. Out of 14 provincial police training institutions, 10 function withoutproper classrooms, 13 do not possess overhead projectors, 12 lack conferencerooms, 12 are without a library, 12 do not have simulation facilities, 13 are haveno forensic units, and 10 are without any computers. 10240
