According to official documents, 842 new positions have been approved for this unit, as per the Finance Division’s letter dated April 9, 2025, bearing reference number 7(2)EXP-IV/2024.
The initiative highlights Islamabad’s growing emphasis on rapid response teams, urban safety, and high-visibility policing, expected to reflect trends similar to the Lahore Dolphin Force model.
