Spezial Einsatz Kommandos

Mainly unrecognized by media and public, the most tasks of the SEK units are execution of Arrest warrants and dealing with barricaded suspects. However, hostage sieges, kidnapping and raids do belong to their tasks as well as other scenarios like personal security detail for VIPs or witnesses. Since the 1970s, the SEKs of each state have handled several thousand deployments.
