The Elite Police (Urdu: اشرافیہ پولیس), also known as the "Elite Police Force" or "Police Commandos", is a branch of the Punjab Police specializing in counter-terrorist operations and VIP security duties, as well as acting against serious crime and performing high-risk operations which can't be carried out by the regular police. Within the Elite Police, a specialized sub-unit known as the Special Operations Unit (SOU) conducts high-risk missions, including operations against the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), criminal networks in districts such as Dera Ghazi Khan and Rahim Yar Khan, and other extreme security situations such as hostage-rescue or anti-hijacking operations.
