In case of Pakistan, risk of social securities or protection to individual free lives in a society due to high crime rate and other relate unethical or negative activities is on the rise and this can be linked to the population boom in the country over the present era. Thus, in order to meet the rise in crime percentage, a fresh and updated form of innovation is required. The security of a free life is essential for a stable and strong nation. In Punjab Pakistan, the crime rate is intentionally underreported due to the conflicting ideas.

The results obtained from the structured questionnaires sent to officials of Lahore Development Authority (LDA) as well as structured and unstructured interviews with gated and non-gated communities shed light on the relevant gaps and needs for amendments in PSCA, which are of primary importance in the development of safe cities in Punjab. The research aims to identify current problems and difficulties the PSCA is facing while implementing a resident security policy. This paper has shown that current policy decision making and the lack of follow-through are each widespread problems. The analysis of the study comes close to executing the policy mandate for evaluating the results of the PSCA activities in the city of Lahore. Interviews are employed to study the current security practices of PSCA to investigate their efficiency and security situation. The assessment is explained by the research, which states that planning layouts for residential communities help reduce crime in the city. When it comes to education, the Dolphin Police in Lahore Punjab is missing practices that fit the requirement and demand for providing access to quality and safe life for each individual.
