Anoosh Masood is the first female to be ASP (Assistant superintendent of police) of KP after Sonia Shamroz. Both of these females were recruited through CSS (central superior services). Anoosh chose Police department by her choice. Anoosh is a doctor by profession. She did her MBBS after which she gave exams for CSS. Anoosh Maqsood had success in exams and was appointed in the Police service.

Anoosh Maqsood has been the talk of the town. She very boldly claims that after the appointment of educated police officers the “Thana culture” has been vanished and things are now moving towards digitalization. Last year around October in Muharram, Anoosh was inspecting every area in Lahore. In her Interview with media, she assured people that she has assured that there’s foolproof security.

Dr. Anoosh has also won a gold medal in medicine. Before she joined the police, Anoosh was a medical student. At the start of her joining she was appointed in Lahore but was later transferred to Abbottabad.

Anoosh said:

“It is good to be in mainstream policing; the job is quite challenging. Women are more dedicated. And being a ASP officer is more a kind of an administrative job, which is why I preferred it over medicine.”

Anoosh’s husband is also in police as ASP who is under training in Abbottabad. She believes that more women are needed in this field, she also discussed how she’s looking forward to recruiting more women.

Despite women police officer’s vast horizon of experiences, most research on their careers has focused on few main problems. They have faced opposition in gaining acceptance in a historically patriarchal field. Although there is a considerable body of research on women’s trouble, on their marginalization by opposite gender as peers and supervisors, and on the persistence of sexual harassment in police departments on policewomen in various police organizations in Pakistan.

Women police officers have faced challenges to perform their duty and selfless service. These are the women who are true ambassadors of women empowerment and gender equality. Women like Anoosh Maqsood and other female police officers are the pride of not just Pakistan but whole womanhood. Anoosh is seen protecting the pride her uniform and her service. However, they have faced problems in the department, as they are the pioneers and change makers of this field. Many other women are inspired by this female police officer as to serve their country in the most reformative manner.
