KARACHI/
LAHORE:
In what appears to be another crack in the glass ceiling, the number of female officers in the police service across the country has increased despite issues pertaining to male dominance and general perception of the institution.
Around four dozen women police officers selected through the Central Superior Service are performing their duties on different positions across the country. Women police officers not only look after administrative affairs in the police force but also perform operational duties.
