Task Force

These are specially trained policemen who work as a team and handle high risk operations.

Dog Unit

The dogs and their handlers search for drugs, and also search for and rescue people.

Mounted

Police members use horses to patrol events and use the horses when cars cannot be used.

Airwing

The Airwing is the “eye” in the sky of the police. They can reach places where the police vehicles can’t. They also search/track vehicles and rescue people.
