Elite Units

The Alpha and Beta units can be assigned to various roles during high risk operations, while the operatives still belong to their own unit, they are given specialist weapons and jobs. These are:

·        Taser: Deployed to incapacitate without killing them

·        Shield: Deployed to protect other officers during assaults

·        Sniper: Deployed for marksman roles

·        Medic: Deployed to support other officers during assaults

·        Bulldozer: Deployed to flush out suspects during assaults

·        Specialist Resolution Unit: Deployed to flush out suspects using water, light, sound etc.

Bulldozers have comparable armour and weaponry with the Combat Unit, wearing similar uniforms to battle dresses, with added head protection so that they can survive close quarters combat with suspects. They also wield the strongest firepower of the force, consisting of automatic shotguns and light machine guns. They are deployed sparingly as the force doesn’t have many Bulldozers and they are extremely expensive.

Tasers are equipped with HK416, with underbarrel tasers mounted similar to a grenade launcher. When a suspect can be taken into custody without killing them, the taser can attempt to incapacitate them with electricity and arrest them on the spot. However, if they cannot complete a non-lethal takedown, they can use their weapon normally and act as a normal officer.

Shields are officers equipped with full body shields fitted with super bright halogen lights intended to dazzle attacking suspects. When in extreme situations, shields can team up and form a barrier wall to protect the officers behind them. Besides their shield, they are also equipped with Glock 18s as they can be fired with one hand.

Medics are deployed as specialist officers who can assist others on scene, reducing the need for medical evacuations. In addition to their medical supplies, they also carry HK416s to protect themselves and those around them.

Snipers are marksmen deployed to pick off suspects from long range in order to keep other officers safe. Sometimes, the NLRU will offer their officers to perform non-lethal marksman work. Unlike most other special units, snipers are deployed far more regularly, including officers from lower units.
