INDIAN Emergency Services (POLICE, AMBULANCE,FIRE)

[Mike_Brando]

One would assume so post-26/11, I'm pretty sure it has become mandatory for all Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities in India.

umm no actually!Kolkata is perhaps the only tier-I city in India which doesn't have a S.W.A.T. or an equivalent force.However we do have a Quick Reaction Force named S.A.F.(Special Action Force) which has a strength of around 800 personnel and they are armed with INSAS and AK-series assault rifles(only recently the Kolkata Police ordered some Mp-5 smgs for S.A.F.).Plus we also have the Kolkata Police Commando,a separate force consisting of around 300 personnel who have got extensive counter-terrorist training from the N.S.G. personnel at Maneswar.

Induction of the MI-17 V5 at a HU at Air Force Station, Jamnagar- notice the IAF's Panther CRT:

Sweet!


Little factoid- India (civilian and military) accounts for over 15% of all Rosenbauer Panthers sold to date...

Do you have any pictures/ articles/ news?

I have seen QRT teams with AKs/ INSAS but did not know they are 800 in number.

mate i read it somewhere that the present strength of S.A.F. is around 800 and that of the Kolkata Police Commandos is around 300.
The QRT teams that you saw were probably members of the S.A.F.(their uniforms were similar to the C.I.S.F. i think).S.A.F. is generally equipped with INSAS and other AK-series assault rifles and carry Browning pistol as their secondary weapon.
OTOH,the primary weapon of the Kolkata Police Commandos is AKM and their uniform is disruptive pattern
