Pakistani Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Anam Sher Khan has been awarded the prestigious Criminal Investigation Award 2025 in Dubai for her outstanding investigative work.
According to a Punjab Police spokesperson, the award was presented by the Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police during a ceremony at the Dubai World Trade Center.
This international recognition highlights ASP Anam Sher Khan’s exemplary investigative skills and professional leadership, bringing global attention to the capabilities of Pakistan’s law enforcement. She received the honour for successfully leading and solving two high-profile murder cases in Punjab.

Inspector-General of Police Punjab, Dr. Usman Anwar said that selection of a Pakistani female police officer for this prestigious award is an honor for Pakistan police.
The Award Committee short-listed two candidates of the Punjab Police after strict scrutiny and interviews.
The police spokesman said that DPO Kasur Mohammad Esa Khan won second award on “Best Artificial Intelligence Implementation in Policing Award”.
