I found a couple of interesting articles about Afghanistan recruiting female police officers to fight the war on drugs.  They can be read here:

Many of the female police officers do not tell their friends or family about their job for fear of reprisal.  Their closes friends may report them to the Taliban and to have them killed.  These crime fighters, whom live dual lives and conceal their identities behind burqas, are Afghanistan's new super heroes.
