The Police Department was established on the pattern of an earlier success story in Pakistan,
National Highways and Motorway Police (NH&MP) which was established in 1997. The Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) came of age between 2007 and 2010 and came to be known as a corruption free and equal application of law police organization. The Model Traffic Police which later came to be known as Islamabad Traffic Police, was planned and designed by
Syed Abbas Ahsan, Superintendent of Police in 2005 on the pattern of National Highways and Motorway Police. Mr. Sultan Azim Temuri, Senior Superintendent of Police, and Mr. Ashfaq Ahmad Khan, Superintendent of Police, were the first officers of the
Police Service of Pakistan (PSP) who led this police organization. The organization was awarded ISO 9001: 2008 certification on 23 June 2009 for introducing state of the art
driver's license, the first police radio station,
ITP FM 92.4 headed by Aisha Jamil , the new laws of prohibition on using mobile phone while driving and the wearing of seat-belt while driving, and client-oriented policing service in Pakistan. Hallmark of this traffic police department is that
rule of law prevails on the roads of Islamabad, and driver's licenses are issued to only the qualified drivers after through testing of driving ability and medical fitness. The organization also has a Traffic Theme Park and Driving School for the education of school kids and driving training to the aspirants. Ever since the ITP took over the control in Islamabad, the incidents of road accidents have decreased, and drivers are seen wearing seat belts and avoiding to use mobile phone while driving, indicators of rule of law hardly seen in many other cities of Pakistan and other developing countries of South Asia and world as a whole. ==Objectives==
