Women Police Stations
Role of women in Lahore Police force started as early as the establishment of independent Pakistan. But at that time they were only limited to search and security of the accused women. First real milestone came in 1995 with the establishment of the first Women Police Station in Lahore on 23rd May, 1995. It was established in the building of the Race Course Police Station. Since then their role has become similar to that of any other police officer. They are authorized and capable of handling applications directly and registration of cases along with the investigation and subsequent disposal of cases. A full-fledged Women Police Station functions in Lahore in the premises of the Race Course Police Station on Race Course Road in Lahore.

Women of Lahore police are now confidently working in all the Police stations of Lahore. At present there is a woman DSP heading all sorts of Investigations relating to crimes against women.
