ISLAMABAD – July 13, 2025: The federal govt. has decided to transform the Frontier Constabulary (FC) into a nationwide federal law enforcement agency, granting it expanded jurisdiction across all provinces and administrative regions under the new name Federal Constabulary.

Sources further revealed that the newly rebranded Federal Constabulary will be authorized to operate across Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, as well as the Islamabad Capital Territory, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan.
Under this reorganization, a nationwide recruitment drive will be launched for the Federal Constabulary, and regional offices will be established across Pakistan. The new force will be commanded by officers from the Police Service of Pakistan (PSP), ensuring a streamlined and professionally managed internal security operation.
Defense experts have termed this move as a strategic shift towards centralized internal security, aimed at enhancing law enforcement coordination and public order nationwide.
