In a historic move, Bajaur Police started wearing official police uniforms for the first time last week, marking an important and positive development.
DPO Bajaur, Waqas Rafique took the long-standing issue seriously and ensured its permanent solution.
Prior to this, Bajaur Police did not routinely wear uniforms, which not only created identification challenges but also impacted the public's perception of the police force.
The initiative has been widely praised by the public and social circles, being seen as a positive step toward improving the police system. Local residents believe this move will not only clarify the police's identity but will also enhance communication and trust between the police and the public.
It is important to note that following the merger of the tribal districts into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a series of police reforms are underway, with the use of official uniforms by Bajaur Police being a significant part of these ongoing reforms.
