The Special Task Force (STF) (Sinhala: විෙශ්ෂ කාර්ය බළකාය Tamil: சிறப்பு அதிரடிப் படை) is an elite special forces unit of the Sri Lanka Police specializing in Counter-Terrorist and Counter-Insurgency operations. It was formed in 1983 not as a military force but rather as a highly-specialised police unit.
The STF was enhanced considerably in 1983 when former British Special Air Service (SAS) crack teams were brought in to provide specialized training in all aspects of Counter Terrorism and Counter insurgency operations.[5] August 11, 1984, that the Israel Internal Security Agency Shin Beth was involved in the training of STF troops. Many officers belonging to Israel were also involved in the training of STF troops in Colombo.
The STF is internationally recognized for its expertise in these areas and it is often invited to assist foreign law enforcement agencies with planning major events such as the 2008 Beijing Olympics and in dealing with possible terrorist threats.
