[3][4] It was modeled after the Istanbul Police Dolphin Force[5][6][7] and launched by the Chief Minister of Punjab, Shahbaz Sharif, in Lahore in 2016.

[11] In 2016, it was announced that a Dolphin Force would be introduced in other major cities in Punjab, such as Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Multan, Gujranwala, Bahawalpur and Dera Ghazi Khan.

The equipment used by the Dolphin Force includes 300 500cc Honda motorcycles, 10 minibuses for field support, 600 helmets, 600 camera-body cams, 200 GPS locators, and 300 wireless radios.

Every motorcycle is manned by two police officers, equipped with a wireless radio, firearm, handcuffs, GPS tracking device, camera, and a special uniform in black with contrasting red and white colors.

The 50,000 rupee per piece parachute apparel was unsuitable for the warm climate in Lahore and had to be replaced with cotton uniforms, resulting in a significant waste of public funds.
