All-female 'Dolphin Squad' launched in Faisalabad to combat crimes

In a move to empower women, Faisalabad police have introduced the first all-female “Dolphin Squad” in the district.

The first-of-its-kind female-based squad in Faisalabad will perform duties previously overseen by male officers. 

The Dolphin Squad is set to significantly empower women all across the country by combatting street crimes and those who disrupt the peace of the city. 

To make the women officers equipped with the task, they have undergone special training in operating 500cc heavy bikes and automatic weapons to help them perform their tasks. 

The all-female Dolphin Squad will work alongside their male counterparts. The team will include 500 women commandos and will be responsible for setting up roadblocks and conducting snap checks on the streets of Faisalabad. 

The CPO of Faisalabad has relayed that the female Dolphin Squad will be initially deployed and will patrol public places where women are present in great numbers such as universities and markets. 

This will provide both the women on duty and doing their errands a sense of easiness and will enable them to comfortably convey their issues — if any arise — in public places to the female Dolphin Squad.
