To enhance the security framework of the Islamabad Capital Territory in accordance with the National Action Plan and to effectively prevent and control terrorist activities, the Federal Government has established its own Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) within the Islamabad Police.

*'''Specialised Field Team''' (SFT): Comprised of experts trained in specific counter-terrorism tactics.
*'''Explosives Handling Team''': Specialises in the safe handling and disposal of explosives and bomb threats.
*'''High Rise & Mountaineering Team''': Trained to operate in high-rise buildings and mountainous terrains.
*'''Snipers Team''': Equipped for precision shooting and tactical operations from a distance.
*'''Amphibious Team''': Capable of conducting operations in water-based environments.
*'''Crisis Negotiation Team''': Skilled in negotiation tactics to resolve hostage situations and other crises peacefully.
