To maintain law & order is the main function of the district administration. Judiciary, Police/ Levies and Administration are the three components who perform this task. As far as the judiciary is concerned, in recent years a Judicial Magistrate was appointed to supervise the judiciary work. As a result of separation of judiciary from executive powers, a Judicial Magistrate was appointed in the District. This was expected to result in quick and not so costly justice for the community. Under the Jirga system, the Deputy Commissioner had final authority to make decisions. People had to wait for years to settle their disputes and rivalries under the previous set-up.

The general security situation in district Killa Abdullah is satisfactory. According to the police information about crime rates in the district during 1992/95, the total crimes have declined, heinous crimes such as murder are negligible. There is complete freedom of travelling in rural and urban areas in day time. In some of the areas adjoining the Afghan border, due to the free availability of arms, travelling is somewhat risky, particularly at night time. Circumstances are not such that travelling by convoy is needed for Pakistani or foreigners. However, during inter-tribal conflicts, travelling via Gulistan and Killa Abdullah becomes dangerous.

There is no restriction for the locals to visit the other side of the border. However, foreigners and visitors from other provinces need a visa to enter Afghanistan.
