Tamil Nadu
Commando force in all districts
Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: Special Commando teams comprising 60 highly trained Armed Reserve police constables would be created at 38 centres across the State, Additional Director-General of Police (Law and Order) K. Radhakrishnan has said.
“Members of the Quick Reaction Team (QRT) that already exists in 31 districts and seven Commissionerates will be imparted training in Commando operations. Young men in the Armed Reserve strengths will be inducted into the Commando teams that will be utilised to handle any emergency. This will enhance our level of preparedness,” he said.
More than 7,000 newly recruited police constables, including women, had passed out of training on Friday and they would be moved to Tamil Nadu Special Police Battalions after one month of practical training.
Around 200 who cleared tough physical efficiency parameters and other skill tests such as firing were selected for deployment in Special Task Force and Tamil Nadu Commando Force in the existing vacancies. “We have recruited the best constables. The objective is to infuse young blood into the elite forces. Those aged above 35 years will be moved to local police.”
On the possibility of joint exercises with National Security Guard Commandos at the Chennai hub, Mr. Radhakrishnan said a decision on that would be taken later. “We are already well equipped when it comes to training facilities. Under the Modernisation of Police Force scheme, Tamil Nadu police has latest weapons like the MP-5 Rifle. State-of-the-art infrastructure will be created under the aegis of Mega City Policing Project,” he said.
