Specialist Protection Group
The Specialist Protection Group (SPG) is lead by SGT Ace J Hunter. SPG focuses on protecting VIP's and Key infrastructure locations. It is a recently formed unit having only officially passed its trial in January 2019.
What is the Specialist Protection Group
The Specialist Protection Group, different to other police units is a defensive unit opposed to an offensive unit. It is based on protection, prevention, security and peacekeeping. The aim of the SPG is to place units in areas of high crime to help be a deterrent to those who pose a threat. SPG is a training, therefore it doesn’t interfere with other specialised unit commitments.
The idea comes from combining all the major defence units within the UK and combining them into one force in accordance with RPUK and the Altis Police Service(APS).
