Biography

Durrani was highly regarded as an honest police officer in the country. In September 2013, he was appointed the Provincial Police Office (Inspector General of Police) of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa thus making him top cop of the province, where he served till March 2017. As Inspector General of Police, Durrani oversaw all patrol and speciality units, and managed department policy that affected Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's many diverse communities. He was a Pashtun, belonging to Durrani tribe.

Durrani's tenure as chief of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police earned him fame and good repute since his policies were admired by the public. Showing his intellect, he managed to establish police specialised schools all over the province which has a vital part to play in raising the standards of policing. He was also credited as a pioneer of the safe city and rapid response projects of KPK police.

After winning the elections in 2018, Imran Khan shared in his first speech to the nation that he had asked Durrani to help improve the police standards of Punjab province. He was subsequently appointed the chairman of the Punjab Police Reform Commission in September 2018, where he served until October 2018.
