Summary:The official statistics indicate that there has been a starking decrease in recording the incidents of terrorism, sabotage, suicide bombings and explosive detonations, and other serious organized crimes like kidnapping for ransom and extortion. The KP Police claim that, in addition to the above three important laws, they have secured the life and limb of the public in 2013-15 through a number of reforms, ranging from basic changes in training and recruitment to the establishment of new and autonomous body of Countering Terrorism Department (CTD) with operational, investigation and research and analysis wings. Not press statements, but an academic study and value-free analysis of the claim will verify that how much of the crime and terrorism decline attribute to military operation and how much is the result of the KP Police structural and functional changes since 2013 and how much to the joint ventures of the civil and military operatives and detectives contributed to this improvement in the Province of KP.
