History of the FIA

A Federally controlled police establishment first came into existence in 1942 during the Second
World War to take up investigation of corruption, rampant in Supplies and Procurement
Department of the government of India. It was name as Special Police Establishment. After the
independence of 1947, it was named as Pakistan Special Police Establishment (PSPE). The said
Establishment was given schedule of offences with the ordinance of VIII of 1948. With the
passage of time, the PSPE depart from investigation the offences of bribery and corruption
against central government employees, was given powers to investigate cases relating to the
offences under the following laws:-

 Official Secret Act, 1923

 Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1947

1972, recommended establishment of Federal Police Organization to deal with smuggling,
narcotics, currency Offences, enforcement of laws relating to foreigners, immigration and
passports and offences having inter-provincial ramification. Consequently FIA Act, 1974. (Act
VIII-4 of 1975) was promulgated on 13-01-1975, bringing Federal Investigation Agency into
existence.

Computer Forensics

In today’s ever changing criminal world the use of computers for fraud and the pursuit of
other crimes has increased to dramatic proportions. NR3C-FIA is a specialized
department to deal with the computer crime. Computer crime is not only about fraud –
online or otherwise – it also encompasses areas such as pornography, child sex abuse
and the sale of black market goods online. The wide range of data content present in
hard drives is potential evidence if seized from a crime scene. The process of forensic
acquisition, analysis and reporting of computer storage devices is Computer Forensic.
NR3C has state of the art computer forensic facility, and posses leading forensic
experts to deal with all computer related crimes.
Mobile Forensics

The increased utility of mobile devices such as smart phones has leveraged the
criminals to communicate and use digital application, resultantly storing tremendous
amount of data on the device. Criminals use smart phones for a number of activities
such as committing fraud over e-mail, harassment through text messages, trafficking of
child pornography, communications related to narcotics, etc. The data stored on smart
phones is extremely useful to forensic analysts through the course of an investigation.
The forensic acquisition, analysis and presentation of data content stored on mobile
devices is known as Mobile Forensics. NR3C since inception has dealt with numerous
mobile forensic cases, and also facilitates other government installations on such
technical assistance.

Video Forensics

Video recordings can provide a real time, eyewitness account of a crime so

investigators can watch or hear what transpired. For instance, a surveillance video
captures a bank robbery in progress, or a hidden camera records. For most crimes,
however, high quality video recordings are often not available. This is where forensic
video expertise can help. Forensic experts have many techniques to enhance
recordings that can bring out details and provide a clearer picture of what occurred.
NR3C experts have engaged in numerous video forensic investigations and have
successfully identified criminals and terrorist through this forensic method.

Network Forensics

Network forensics is the capture, storage, and analysis of network events. Regardless
of the name, the idea is the same: record every packet of network traffic (all emails, all
database queries, all Web browsing–absolutely all traffic of all kinds traversing an
organization’s network) to a single searchable repository so the traffic can be examined
in detail. It also includes the forensic examination of network devices such as router,
VOIP gateways, IDS/IDP etc. The network device configuration and related data
present in these devices is important in cyber crime cases. NR3C has a specialized
team to investigate and process network forensic cases. They have successfully
analyzed numerous network forensic investigations in past.

Technical Training

Development of human resource leverages the organizations to perform efficiently.

Trainings, seminars and workshops are instant source of information that gives an edge
to professionals to understand and excel in their respective fields. NR3C over years has
trained around thousands of individuals of academia, law enforcement agencies,
judiciary, police academy, intelligence agencies etc. Trainings disseminated in relation
to digital forensic comprehension of interpreting forensic reports, evidence extraction
methods, laws application to judicial community. 12, 458 individuals from all walks of life
ranging from a 6 grade kid to a decorated officers have been trained by NR3C to serve
the purpose cyber crime mitigation
Organizational Structure

The Director-General, generally a very senior Police Officer of BPS 21/22, with his
Headquarters based at Islamabad, acts as head of the Department. In his work he is
assisted by three Additional Director-Generals and ten Directors for effective monitoring
and smooth functioning of the operations spread all over the country.

Six Directors assist the Director-General at Headquarters in controlling the Functional

Wings of Administration, Crime, Immigration and Anti-Human Smuggling, PISCES, SIG
and Technical Assistance. Five Directors supervise the zones of Lahore, Karachi,
Peshawar, Quetta and Islamabad.
