K.p police or any police can only deliver a little as long as the core of command isn't native to the area. Better revamp the policing structure and scrap the federal policing model nation wide.
We have rangers/f.c and f.i.a to accommodate federal role in the provinces.
Definitely need to revamp the provincial police, and make sure it is seen as answerable to the elected government in each location and Peshawar. Also it must be perceived the elected government is also seen as the deciding body dispersing the funds for economic development to the local governments in parts of KPK.
Presumably when all people in authority are seen to be the neighbors of the people that have to decide if they will support or not support the TTP, it will be a lot harder to claim the government is made up of outsiders.
This is why state/provincial government work in other countries, local laws, local administration, local tax collection.
In the US each state has its own air national guard, with their own aircraft, sometimes their own fighter jets.
Federal assets that are constantly being used in one province and for civilian purposes should probably be given to the provinces, especially for law enforcement. The psychological tactics a local can use, such as through radio traffic from an attack helicopter to militants below can be very intimidating. They can also be more likely to understand if a local has been mis-identified as a hostile (“Tango”) when they are a local smuggler or low level criminal but from a well connected family that may cause more problems for the state if killed by mistake.
