At its peak, the FSF comprised over 15,000 personnel. Its primary responsibilities included assisting the police in maintaining order, securing political events, surveilling [[dissident|political opponent]]s and, in some instances, using violence to suppress opposition.<ref name="auto"/> The FSF also engaged in intelligence collection aimed at countering opposition parties and identifying potential threats.<ref name="auto"/>
[[Haq Nawaz Tiwana]] was the FSF's first [[director general]], later replaced by [[Masood Mahmood]], a former British Indian Police Service officer and a [[Lincoln's Inn]] law graduate.<ref name="auto"/> Mahmood's tenure saw a close collaboration with Bhutto, but shifted allegiance to Zia-ul-Haq following the reopening of the [[Nawab Muhammad Ahmed Khan Kasuri]] murder case and he testified against Bhutto, contributing to his execution.<ref name="auto"/>
The necessity and motives behind the FSF's establishment have been subjects of debate. Critics argue that its creation was driven by Bhutto's desire to suppress opposition and instill fear among political adversaries.<ref name="auto"/> The FSF was implicated in several violent incidents, including the killing of Nazir Ahmad, a [[Jamaat-e-Islami (Pakistan)|Jamaat-i-Islami]] leader, and the Liaquat Bagh shooting in 1973, which resulted in numerous casualties.<ref name="auto"/>
