Revision as of 02:16, 10 June 2022

The Counter Terrorism Department (Urdu: سررشتہِ تحقیقاتِ جرائم ، پاکستان; CTD) formerly known as the Crime Investigation Department (CID) or Criminal Investigation Department, are crime scene investigation, interrogation, antiterrorism, and intelligence bureaus in the provincial police services of Pakistan.[1]

CID bureaus are usually commanded by an Inspector General of Police[citation needed]. In Karachi, CTD teams have gathered intelligence to take action against organized crime, and alongside the FIA and the IB, have infiltrated terrorist cells to track down TTP, Islamic State, al-Qaeda and other terror and separatist groups' operatives.[2]

Between 2010 and 2015, the Crime Investigation Departments (CIDs) in a number of provinces were renamed to "Counter Terrorism Departments" (CTDs).[3][4]

Formation and organization

In 1902, the British government formed CID bureaus all over the British Raj.[5] After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, CID bureaus were equally distributed to Pakistan.[6] In Punjab and Sindh, CID bureaus were formed in 1947; and during the successive years, CID bureaus were established in Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.[6]

Bureaus

CTD Sindh

In Sindh, the CTD bureau is led by an additional inspector-general of police, and has several other sub-bureaus established all over Karachi.[7][8]

Other CTD sub-bureaus are located in Larkana, Sukkar, Hyderabad, and Mirpur, and are each led by a superintendent of police (SP).[7][8] In Karachi, the CTD bureaus work on crime scene investigations, interrogations of suspects, antiterrorism, and intelligence in the city.[2]

In 2010, the TPP coordinated a terrorist attack at the CID building in Karachi, nearly destroying the entire headquarters.[9] Since 2010, Karachi CTD personnel have engaged in police encounters, shoot-outs, murder cases, and high speed chases involving the al-Qaeda and TTP terrorists. In 2015, CTD teams gunned down four al-Qaeda operatives after a high speed chase took place in Qayyumabad in Karachi.[10]

CTD Punjab

The Punjab Police's CID bureau was renamed the Counter Terrorism Department in line with similar renamings across Pakistan in 2010.[11] After a restructuring in 2015, the CTD was assigned additional terrorism-related functions beyond its traditional intelligence duties.[11] Operational counter terrorism forces were also allocated to the CTD with the creation of the Counter Terrorism Force, made up of specially trained police officers and potentially military personnel.[11][12]

CID Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa

The CID bureau in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa often works with personnel of the Frontier Corps and Federal Investigation Agency as well as other offices of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Police to execute its investigation, counterterrorism, and intelligence functions.[13] The CID bureau is headed by an additional inspector-general of police with headquarters in Peshawar.[14]

The Peshawar CID bureau has carried out raids on the hideouts of TPP militants.[13] In 2013, the bureau was restructured and the Elite Force and Counter Terrorism Directorate (CTD), which work with the special agents of the FIA to carry out counter-terrorism operations, were added.[13]

In the past, the CID played a lead role in operations against criminals, smugglers and outlaws. In case of any extraordinary situation, the Frontier Constabulary would be called to assist the police in maintaining law and order.[13] As of now, the Peshawar CID now focuses on conducting criminal investigation and solving murder cases.[13]

CID Balochistan

The CID bureau in Balochistan was established by the Balochistan Police in 2000. Currently, the CID bureau is headed by a deputy inspector general of police.[15]
