terrorism policies .This present research focuses on the role of police regarding this issue by
raising some questions. What are the perceptions of public about police legitimacy, police
performance, procedural justice and distributive justice? What are the instigating factors that may
influence publics‟ attitude towards police and counter terrorism policing strategies? Pakistan
police force must improve its police public relationship as a method to employ in combating and
dealing with terror threats, since this strategy will have a direct impact on fight against terrorism
in Pakistan. Miscreants attacked states legal institutions to make it more fragile in order to
challenge the writ of the government. Police has also become target for these extremist groups in
Pakistan because of its politicization that some terrorist organizations consider against their
religious ethos so the role of police becomes important in the affairs of state. The best practices
for fight against radicalization, Building Trust between the Citizens and the Police: Incorporating
International Experiences and Police – Army Cooperation are important steps. Since the police is
conscientious for positively symbolizing the authority of the state, their conduct to citizens is
imperative for promotion of law-abiding approach amongst the public. Responsible role of police
will help the state and society to counter terrorism in Pakistan
