Islamabad Traffic Police (Urdu: اسلام آباد ٹریفک پولیس) is a "model traffic police force" formed under the Capital Territory Police in 2006 to "bring a new and healthy change in the traffic system" in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan.^[1]

The police force is responsible for the enforcement of traffic rules, education of traffic laws to the community, issuance of driver' licenses to qualified drivers, advice to the Capital Development Authority on road engineering issues, and regulation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic on highways, avenues and roads of Islamabad and is rated as second corruption free police organization in Pakistan, after National Highways and Motorways Police.

The department is, however, unable to enforce a system of points for traffic violations, and only levies monetary fines to the violators, thus deterrent effects on violators have not been produced.
