In the on-going war against terrorism, the Tenant Information System on the part of K-P police is considered the best professional policing and widely welcomed both at national and international level.

One of the biggest benefit of the system is that complete data of the family of the newcomers is entered into the police record at police station level and strict watch is kept on their daily activities and movement. Peshawar police have computerised all the data of tenants which is a single click away to get complete bio-data of the tenants living in Peshawar.

This system has also proved a milestone in smashing the terrorists ‘dens, identity of suspects without putting the innocent general public in trouble and thus ultimately led to dwindle down terrorism cases in the province.
