Background

Introduction of Frontier Constabulary

Frontier Constabulary was created by amalgamating Border Military Police (BMP) and Samana Rifles (SR) in 1913. Both of these were militia
forces guarding the border between the then settled areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Tribal areas. Frontier Constabulary’s main function was to
police the border of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the Tribal areas against tribal incursions, criminal gangs operating across the border and to check
the smuggling of contraband items.

“Along the North West Frontier is spread a force which moves up & down & down & up from one desolate post to another, ready to take the field
at ten minutes notice. They are always half in and half out of a difficulty somewhere along the mountainous lines. Their lives are as hard as their
muscles but papers never say anything about them”.  Rudyard Kipling

Brief History of Frontier Constabulary

The Frontier Constabulary is a sort of police force and is officered by police officers. It is employed on the lines between the tribal
agencies and settled districts. Previously this used to be known as Border Militia and this is even now known as militia by the common
.people. They are liable to home services only and in case of emergency, assist the regular army in operations

Frontier Constabulary was created as an independent Civil Armed Force, under the provisions of Frontier Constabulary Act, 1915. under
this Act, Frontier Constabulary Rules 1958 were framed. This force is also under the administrative control of the Ministry of Interior.
From an operational point of view, the functioning of this force is supervised by the Home departments of the respective provincial
governments. The Frontier Constabulary, an armed police force, also operates in a small area bordering FATA and the settled districts.
The NWFP police does not have jurisdiction over FATA’s agencies or the Frontier Regions. Originally, it was aimed at stopping incursions
and raids from the tribal areas. Now, its original function has been overshadowed by an increasing involvement in the internal security
duties and protection of vital installation as well as embassies.

The force is commanded by a grade 21 officer of the Police Services of Pakistan designated as Commandant FC who is assisted by a
Deputy Commandant who is a BPS-20 officer and two Principal Staff Officers of BPS-18/19. The Frontier Constabulary has its own
administrative districts and in each district there is one District Officer of BPS-18/19 who is assisted by Assistant District Officers.

Functions

FC accomplishes its basic function by dividing the area of responsibility into F.C districts which in turn have an intricate network of Forts, Posts
and Pickets located strategically along the tribal and settled border.

With the passage of time, and additional duties assigned to FC, the geographical area covered by FC also increased. At present there are 17 FC
districts stretching from Gilgit in the extreme north to Karachi in the extreme South of the country. Thus in all the provinces of Pakistan, except
Punjab and Baluchistan FC is performing its duties.

Over the passage of time, Frontier Constabulary was assigned additional functions such as assisting other Federal and Provincial law
enforcing (LEAs) agencies in conducting operations against criminal elements and supporting them in law & order situations. A large
number of FC troops are also manning the security duties in Diplomatic Enclave, Islamabad and Karachi. Moreover a number of Multi
National Companies (MNCs) are operating all over the country. These MNCs are provided with the security and protection by FC
personnel.

The Frontier Constabulary has been assigned the following duties:

• To guard the border between tribal and settled area.

• To stop tribal incursions in individual cases or in the form of gangs.
• To check outlaws and their evil designs in the area.
• To stop kidnapping and checking on tribal disputes on the administrative borders.
• To act as a second line of defense in times of grave emergency.
• To assist the local administration in times of need (internal security).
• To control and eliminate poppy cultivation and growth.
• To check trafficking of narcotics, illegal weapons and smuggling.
• To perform any other duties assigned by the government.

 To fight against the terrorists and to assist Armed forces in the war against terror.

A typical Statement of Case would include these standard sections:

Summary, Background, Objective, Proposal, Alternatives, Benefits, Disadvantages, Consequences, Finance, Method, Details.
It should be kept in mind that NWFP policemen have invited dangers upon themselves in the line of duty to the state. It is not a good sign for the integrity of our
country that the Pakhtun public perceives some ethnic discrimination on behalf of the state against the police. The perceived discrimination is an extension of the
wider perception in NWFP and FATA that the Pakhtun, both civilians and police, are paying with their blood for the military generals’ pursuit of strategic depth in
.Afghanistan

The NWFP police are the first line of defence against the onslaught of the terrorists. Almost on a daily basis they defend hundreds of civilians by giving their own
lives. They are doing so most of the time with their will power and commitment to duty. According to the NWFP police department, 523 police personnel have
.been killed and 1,083 injured between 2004 and 2009 in the war on terror

Some relatives pointed out the difference in compensation given by the government to the families of those who were martyred before and after June 2009. The
latter have a much better compensation package than the former. Relatives of the former said they are happy for the better compensation to the latter, but
.wanted similar compensation

One of the relatives said he has been doing some calculations for some time and has come to the conclusion that in pure financial terms, it is cheaper for the
government to provide the police with better weapons and tools than the compensation paid to the families of the martyred. This, he said, is also a much better
.deal for the families who wish to see their near and dear ones in the police alive rather than being compensated for their deaths

to equalize the compensation money for levies and Khasadar force to NWFP police and also issued directives to concerned authorities to pay Rs.300,000 to each family of as
.many as 3,200 martyrs belong to FATA
