K-P police to expand Elite Force to tribal districts

The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Inspector General of Police Moazzam Jah Ansari has said that Elite Force will be expanded to the seven tribal districts of the province.

He said that maintenance of law and order, internal security and integrity of the country depend on the best training, preparedness and commitment of the police force and directed the constables to fully equip themselves with latest modern training so as to tackle the impending challenges in an effective manner.

He said this while addressing the passing-out parade of the 18th Basic Elite Course, 7th Special Combat Unit (SCU) and 3rd Basic Ladies Commandos Course at Joint Elite Police Training Center Nowshera Tuesday.

A toal of 464 commandos participated in the parade which included 344 basic course constables, 66 PASIs, 29 Special Combat Units and 25 Ladies Commandos.

The 7th contingent of SCU completed the 9-month rigorous training. It may be recalled that basic elite course is called induction course of the Elite Force and after its successful completion the jawans are formally inducted in the Elite Force. The police chief informed the ceremony that no force of the country could match the bravery and courage of the K-P police.

He added that with the induction of Elite Force commandos and Special Combat Unit members in the K-P police, the professional acumen and capabilities of the police force would be further improved to a great extent. The IGP especially praised the bravery and capabilities of the SCU.
