MALAKAND LEVIES brass shoulder titles

Pair of cast brass shoulder titles. The Malakand Levies are a paramilitary law enforcement force in Pakistans Malakand Division, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Established in 1895 during British Raj as part of the Swat Levies, to protect the Malakand region and key routes€”initially recruiting around 192 personnel They operate similarly to local police, performing duties from FIR registration, criminal investigations, maintaining law & order, escorting VIPs, to highway patrols . They remain the primary law enforcement in Malakand, especially in areas where regular police presence was historically absent Over more than a century, the force has evolved from simple security duties to policing, criminal investigations, VIP escorts, and highway patrol The Malakand Levies have been a vital, locally rooted law enforcement entity since 1895€”effectively functioning as both police and paramilitary force in Malakand Division. Currently in transition towards formal integration with the provincial police, their century-long role reflects the regions governance history and ongoing security needs.
