Historically, the CTD has played a significant role in tackling crime, smuggling, and outlaw activities. In extraordinary circumstances, the Frontier Constabulary is called upon to assist the police in maintaining law and order. Currently, however, the Peshawar CTD has shifted its focus primarily towards conducting criminal investigations and solving murder cases, reflecting a broader approach to law enforcement in the region. | Historically, the CTD has played a significant role in tackling crime, smuggling, and outlaw activities.

Following the Fall of Kabul in August 2021, Pakistan has experienced a resurgence of terrorism, with the Counter Terrorism Department Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (CTD KP) playing a crucial role in responding to these developments. The CTD KP has conducted numerous Intelligence-Based Operations in collaboration with other Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs), resulting in the elimination of many militants. A notable operation was a search and strike mission in the Swat district, aimed at clearing various hilltops and mountain ridges that had been occupied by militants. Currently, the CTD KP remains highly active in combating militant groups operating in districts near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. | |||
In response to the Peshawar Police Lines attack, an apex committee meeting was convened in Peshawar, chaired by Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and attended by Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Asim Munir. During this meeting, an upgrade plan for the CTD KP was approved. The plan includes equipping the CTD KP with modern technology and resources, constructing a new headquarters, and establishing a forensic laboratory to enhance the department's investigative capabilities. These initiatives aim to strengthen the CTD KP's effectiveness in countering terrorism and maintaining security in the region. | |||

The Crime Investigation Department (CID) bureau in Balochistan was established by the Balochistan Police in 2000 and later restructured into the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) Balochistan. The CTD Balochistan is currently headed by a Deputy Inspector General of Police, with its headquarters located in Quetta. The department operates its own Counter Terrorism Force and can also receive support from the Balochistan Constabulary and Balochistan Levies. | |||
The CTD Balochistan has achieved significant successes in combating separatist and sectarian organizations, having neutralized numerous militants, including key commanders of banned groups. One notable operation occurred in August 2021, when the CTD stormed a terror training camp run by the Islamic State (ISIS) in Mastung, Balochistan, resulting in the elimination of 11 ISIS terrorists. This operation exemplifies the CTD's commitment to addressing terrorism and enhancing security within the province. | |||
