The threat of terrorism needed to be realistically managed.The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police had received support from both the federal and provincial governments. To effectively confront terrorists, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police Force had access to modern weaponry and equipment as well. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police Force, with support from the Pakistani Army, was only able to prevent the terrorists from carrying out their activities because they acted quickly to block their networks and demolish their safe havens. They had to make a lot of sacrifices in order to complete this operation. If the military and police had not make the appropriate sacrifices when they were needed, the war on terror would have been a complete failure. The repercussions of the terrorist acts left an imprint on the public and the police, which had a mental and physical impact. It saw both positive and negative influences. Because of their careful planning in containing the threat of terrorism, the police play an important role that should never be underestimated.

Since the military typically plays the primary role in counterterrorism strategies and the police are only seen as supporting actors, the subject merits further scrutiny. Also, it is crucial to look into Pakistan's role in the fight against terrorism and the difficulties the police in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa face.
