SWU-Introduction

Established after the 2019 merger of FATA into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the South Waziristan Upper District Police serve a mountainous, strategically important region known for its complex terrain and security challenges. Despite logistical and operational difficulties, the police have played a crucial role in restoring peace, combating militancy, and integrating modern law enforcement into the tribal landscape. Through community engagement, intelligence-based operations, and coordination with security agencies, the force has helped build trust and stability, paving the way for lasting peace and development in the district.
