Khoji Dog Center in Swabi
Swabi is a district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa between the Indus and Kabul rivers, with the Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute at Topi, the historic village of Hund on the Indus, and the Islamabad to Peshawar motorway passing through. Tobacco, sugarcane and maize fields cover much of the plain, and villages are linked by a close network of lanes and irrigation channels.
Because the district sits right beside the motorway, vehicles and travellers move through it constantly, and thieves can be gone from a village within minutes. Tall crops such as maize and sugarcane hide movement completely during part of the year. Tracking dogs follow scent instead of sight, which is exactly what is needed when a person has gone into a standing crop or along an irrigation channel. Khoji Dog Center supports Swabi with crime-scene tracking after theft and robbery, missing-person and kidnapping assistance, and detection of drugs and explosives.
When an incident occurs, keep everyone away from the exact place. Do not touch doors, locks or tools the offender used, and put clothing the missing person wore into a clean bag. Report serious crimes to the police on 15. Then call Khoji Dog Center on 03010054431, answered at any hour. Tell us the town or village in Swabi, Topi or Lahor, the time of the incident, and what happened, so we can be honest about what can be arranged.
Because the motorway runs through Swabi district, a vehicle can be a long way off very quickly, so tell us the last place and time it was seen. Mention whether the incident was near Topi, Hund or Lahor, or inside Swabi city itself, when you call.
