- Punjab’s first all-female Dolphin Squad empowers women by placing them in key law enforcement roles, traditionally dominated by men, and highlights the importance of gender equality in public service.
- The female officers have received comprehensive training in operating 500cc heavy bikes and handling automatic weapons, ensuring they are fully equipped to combat street crimes and maintain public order.
- The squad will initially focus on patrolling areas with high female foot traffic, such as universities and markets, providing a safer environment for women and making it easier for them to report any issues to female officers.
In a landmark initiative aimed at empowering women and enhancing public safety, the Faisalabad police have launched the district’s first all-female “Dolphin Squad.” This pioneering move marks a significant milestone in the efforts to include women in roles traditionally held by men, particularly in law enforcement.
The all-female Dolphin Squad is a groundbreaking development, designed to not only bolster security but also to encourage the participation of women in sectors where they have been underrepresented. The squad will take on duties previously managed by male officers, focusing primarily on combating street crimes and maintaining public order in the bustling city of Faisalabad.
To ensure these women officers are fully prepared for the challenges ahead, they have undergone rigorous training. This training included mastering the operation of 500cc heavy bikes, as well as handling automatic weapons. These skills are essential for the tasks they will perform, including high-speed patrols and responding to crime scenes swiftly and effectively.
The Dolphin Squad’s operations will be integrated with those of their male colleagues, fostering a cooperative environment within the force. The team is comprised of 500 well-trained women commandos who will take charge of critical duties such as setting up roadblocks and conducting snap checks on the streets of Faisalabad, ensuring that the city remains safe for all its residents.
According to the Chief Police Officer (CPO) of Faisalabad, the female Dolphin Squad will initially focus on patrolling areas with a high concentration of women, such as universities and markets. This strategic deployment is intended to provide a sense of security and comfort for women in public spaces. It will also create a more approachable environment for women who need to report issues, as they may feel more comfortable addressing female officers.
The introduction of the female Dolphin Squad is a significant step forward in the empowerment of women across Pakistan. By integrating women into active policing roles, Faisalabad’s initiative not only enhances public safety but also sends a strong message about the importance of gender equality in every aspect of society.
