They are also deployed in the close protection Units, providing security for VIP's and key installations. Since the abortive insurrection of 1971, the Armed Forces have to been called out time and again to assist the Police in maintaining law and order. This, required the declaration of a State of Emergency within the country, which was not considered very desirable in a democratic county where the maintenance of law and order was the responsibility of the Civil Police.The insurrection of 1971, where Police Stations were mainly targeted, saw the need to train and squip the Police for duties over and the above normal Police function. The outbreak of terrorist activity that followed in the wake of a call by certain sections of the Tamil populating for a separate State, convinced the state of the urgent need for the Police to have its own Para - Military Division. The terrorist strikes were not confined not only to attacks on property, but on politicians, high - ranking officials and other important persons. This necessitated the strengthening and enhancing of the Personnel Security Divisions and Special Task Force, thereby assigning the S.T.F. to VIP protection duties as well.The Birth of the Special Task ForceThe nucleus for the Special Task Force (STF) was formed in 1983, drawing on Policemen already in service and having them trained by the Army in the handling of infantry weapons and given basic training in "jungle warfare technique" The first few platoons formed were deployed mainly to provide support for Police Stations in the North of Sri Lanka.The level of the STF was considerably enhanced in 1983 with the introduction of crack former Special Air Service (SAS) teams to provide specialized training in all aspects of counter insurgency and Counter Terrorist operations.By the year 1987, the STF had taken over the control of the Batticaloa Division from Kiran, right down to Pothuvil in the South and were deployed in Company formation in no less than 15 caps, when the Indian peace Keeping Force was conducted into Sri Lanka, the STF was dominating the ground in the Batticaloa Division, having scored several successes against the Terrorist groups. Trains and buses running as usual and having he proud record of not having a single STF camp come under attack from the LTTE from 1983 right up to the time that the IPKF moved into the Batticaloa Division. As the STF grew in number, they took on the added responsibilities of providing protection to key installations in the Colombo District and providing personnel for the protection of the President, Prime Minister, several Ministers of the Cabinet and other VIPP.  <img src="http://ttp://www.lankabusinessonline.com/images/security%20commando1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  <img src="http://www.lankabusinessonline.com/images/security%20commando2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />    <img src="http://www.lankabusinessonline.com/images/security%20commando1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  <img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2JCfBJEzimk/SSHEjAGDByI/AAAAAAAAE34/sX9q2ZOlb-I/s400/SriLankaPolicemotorcylejump.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" /> <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
