Some 35 female police commandos are undergoing training at the Nowshera police training centre. Officials said that K-P Inspector General Police Nasir Durrani felt that female police commandos needed to be included in the force and decided to impart special training to the female police.
“Some 35 female police commandos have voluntarily offered their services to join the group and will be imparted five months of training at par with the elite force male members,” Momin Baig, a commandant at the Nowshera police training center told The Express Tribune.
“After the training, female commandos will be capable of using all kinds of modern weapons,” he added.
They will be provided the same training imparted to elite force male members in the province and will be ready to confront all kinds of challenges, including the fight against militants.
Baig further said more female commandos will be trained for K-P police once the first batch joins the police.
Speaking to The Express Tribune, Musarrat Bibi, a commando under training said, “I wanted to join the group because I wanted to tell the world that women in K-P could also obtain commando training and fight terrorism.”

looking at the picture reminds me of Pakistan's women cricket team.
@Chachoo You must be referring to the Punjab commandos who shot pregnant women in the face in Model town. I hope no other province will follow the standards set by Punjab Police, the worse police force in the whole country.
I think PTI is going against our values and culture by introducing women police .
Where are the likes of Asma Jahangir and such who claim IK is a mullah? These pseudo liberals can do nothing but complain.
Haha, maybe if our women learn how to use weapons, our men will start being nicer to them :)
Great step by KP!
The example of Punjab Women Police commandos is now being followed in other Provinces of Pakistan and it is a good omen altogether. Before PTI followers will call it a revolutionary step of KP a small reminder for them that such force of Commandos exist in Punjab for a longer time now.
Also ET should rephrase one sentence of " First time in history" as it should be "First time in the history of KP" rather than in the whole of Pakistan .
