During the Sunni/Shia conflicts in Haripur 8 years ago, the police ran away and locked themselves in the Police Station. They had to call the army to rescue them. The police pretty much had no say in any affairs over there, unless the people they were involved with were poor such as Pashtuns from camps, etc. There was a Lashkare Taiba recruitment center right in front of the Police Station and opened 24/7. lulz The police were pretty much a joke and they were too scared to go to some areas like Babu Muhallah as well, which was famous for its "Dhaakus".

^ yes they actually did and an inefficient police force was one of the reasons talibs were able to move through these areas so easily but Pakistan Army took control of their training earlier on this year to better equip and prepare them ..the first eltie trained force graduated this march and the program is going on to further compliment the numbers

Good on them, well, let's just hope that the police do not act like the army, since, they receive the training from them.
