Anti-Terrorism Squad

For the former name of the New Zealand Police tactical group, see Anti-Terrorist Squad.

An Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) is a special counterterrorism unit present in several state police agencies of India including Maharashtra Police,[1] Gujarat Police,[2] Kerala Police,[3] Uttar Pradesh Police,[4] Rajasthan Police,[5] Bihar Police,[6] Jharkhand Police,[7]Tamil Nadu Police,[8] Madhya Pradesh Police[9] and Chhattisgarh Police.[10] These units are frequently involved in the investigative, intelligence and emergency response aspects related to terrorism and cooperate with other branches of their police departments, police forces from other states, and national agencies such as the Intelligence Bureau and the National Investigation Agency.[11]

The first Anti-Terrorism Squad of India was founded in Maharashtra in 1990 by the then Additional Commissioner of Police, Mumbai Aftab Ahmed Khan (popularly known as A.A. Khan). He was inspired by the Los Angeles Police Department's Special Weapons & Tactics (SWAT) team's methods to combat modern-day terrorism.[11] Since then Anti-Terrorism Squads have been integrated into the police departments of numerous states, with the original ATS of Maharashtra Police being terminated and then reconstituted.
