I think the TS is a bit confused...
Do you know what US Delta Force does? Civil police can never
match up, not even STAR team...and Security Command doesn't even
have to do what STAR team does....its a totally different thing.
watch too much movie...
Delta forces are like our SOF...they parachute, freefall, dive,
penetrate deep into hostile ground undetected, sabotage,
assasinate, surveillance and get out...all in small teams.
Security Command are VIP bodyguards. while they have special
training, such as special driving skills, close protection
formations, weapons, etc.... they do not have to do assasination,
diving, freefalling....so its a totally different thing.
Anyway, all police officers have to go through 2 years of
ordinary patrol police/NPC work before they can apply for transfer,
subject to approval. you can't apply direct to any branch.
By the way, CNB, Prisons, ISD, are seperate from police control,
so they have their own direct recruitments.
In all branches of uniformed service, there're senior and junior
officers, mixture of ranks, there are senior leaders, team leaders
and junior staff....so obviously going into any branch has nothing
to do with ranks or if any certain rank can/cannot enter.
