A friend who was recently on a tourism trip of Pakistan sent me this photograph of a billboard from Abbotabad. Click on the photo to see the enlarged image.
The text in Urdu approximately reads as: In case of theft, burglary, murder, kidnapping – immediately contact (the) Detective Dogs (company).

Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

Yes, it’s nothing unique, rather this is strange. The strangest part being that every private company is now also being runned by the Army.
Aren’t private detectives common around the world? So this is not anything unique to Pakistan.
Taftishi sagaan! wah. Glad to see the hoarding, especially because it is in Urdu.
Sharukh, we do have emergency services in Pakistan.
Earlier we used to have Khojis who used to follow the footprint of the burglar or murderer. Since most of the roads are mettled their role has been overtaken by the sniffers.
Most of these services are provided by my ex-military personnels these days.
