The squad will initially focus on patrolling public places where women are more present, such as women's universities and markets.

According to CPO Faisalabad, the decision to deploy ladies' dolphins in areas where females are more present will enable women to feel more comfortable approaching the squad. 

The move aims to promote a sense of security among women in society.

The introduction of the Lady Dolphin police is a major step towards gender equality and women's empowerment in the province, said the police high-official.
