He served as the Deputy Inspector-General of Police of Malaysia before being promoted to the top job in 2013. [7] [8]
As the IGP,Khalid was known for his extensive use of Twitter for public communication including issuing informal warnings via Twitter to the Malaysian public. This earned him criticism from civil rights activists who accused him of using Twitter to curb free speech. [9]
In April 2018,Khalid was found liable for the defamation of Nurul Izzah Anwar,vice-president of the opposition People's Justice Party,for portraying her as a traitor in 2013 during statements made as IGP about the Lahad Datu standoff. [10]
Khalid was appointed the new Prasarana Malaysia Bhd (Prasarana) group chairman on 5 September 2017,a day after he officially handed over his police command.

He resigned as chairman of Prasarana on 17 July 2018,without citing reasons. [12] [13] He's currently become Multimedia Entertainment's chairman and become executive producer for them. [5]
In 2018,Khalid together with Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali,Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah and Tan Sri Dzulkifli Ahmad has been banned from travelling abroad due to 1MDB scandal. [14] [15] He was originally not pressured to be investigated by Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun,his predecessor. [16]
In 2021,Khalid was subjected by former Prime Minister,Mahathir Mohamad due to slander after an article uploaded by The Malaysian Insight titled "Khalid Abu Bakar Bocor Rancangan pada Najib" (lit. 'Khalid Abu Bakar leaked information on Najib'). [17] Mahathir told media that he want to meet Khalid in the court together with Khalid's lawyer. [18] [19]
