Abstract
This paper is an in-depth study on the country's public disorder and the efficacy of police response. In order to understand the dynamics of police response towards violent public order situations, it is important to elaborate complexities of the prevailing environment. The evaluation of this environment revolves around the existing policing practices towards handling volatile law and order situations, available legal framework, and internal challenges to deal with violent situations firmly. The research is based on the police department's shared thoughts, years of handling turbulent situations, and the requisite provisions for an apt response. Besides relevant reports, articles and assessed data have been consulted. Suggestions as to how police can act in a better manner in times, related strategies and tactical procedures have been elucidated.

Summary
Pakistan came into existence under disheveled terms experiencing deaths of about 1 million people sacrificing lives and properties in the process of independence. Time and often, the security landscape of the country is entrenched in an array of conflicts and differences of opinions among multiple groups. The proliferation of violence is recognized as one of the deep-rooted and existing phenomena in the country. Religious, and ethnic divisions have manipulated violence as democratic and legal instruments to materialize personal goals. The reason behind the disturbance in the law-and-order situation of the country is primarily multi-dimensional and reflects an in-built, intricate experience stemming from an uncontrollable scenario of socio-cultural multiplicities and its predicaments. Pakistan is home to ethnic-linguistic, sectarian, and tribal splits resulting in extensive typologies (Malik, 2009). With the growth of sectarian and political views, violence is being normalized as a form of protest
