As part of this restructuring, operational counter-terrorism forces were integrated into the CTD through the establishment of the Counter Terrorism Force. This specialised unit is composed of police officers who have received advanced training, and it may also include personnel with military backgrounds. The creation of this force enhances the CTD's capacity to respond effectively to terrorist threats and conduct operations aimed at neutralising such dangers within the province. | As part of this restructuring, operational counter-terrorism forces were integrated into the CTD through the establishment of the Counter Terrorism Force.

The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) bureau in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa collaborates closely with personnel from the Frontier Corps, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), and various offices of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Police to effectively execute its investigative, counter-terrorism, and intelligence functions. The CTD is led by an Additional Inspector General of Police, with its headquarters located in Peshawar. It is organized into 14 regional zones, each headed by officers of Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) or Superintendent of Police (SP) rank. These zones span across various divisions of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, including CTD Peshawar, CTD Bannu, CTD DI Khan, CTD Malakand, and CTD Kohat. Each zone is further subdivided into police stations and centers within the respective districts. | |||
The Peshawar CTD bureau has been proactive in conducting operations against TTP militants, executing raids on their hideouts. In 2013, the bureau underwent restructuring, which incorporated the Elite Force and the Counter Terrorism Directorate (CTD) to enhance its capabilities. These units work alongside special agents from the FIA to conduct counter-terrorism operations effectively. | |||
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. | |||
