Joshua1975 SG after SQ117 incident. the gov think that we need something "else" MINDEF agreed. SPF think so. GOV say yes. 1st star team form up. mainly guys from SOF, some NSF commando who going ORD. trainer all from SOF in terms of tactic. law wise still done by SPF officers. not confirm ~ from 3rd teams on, SPF officers ie STAR instructors take over. of course, origin from SOF which they call themselves than police officer. airborn just a course that open up to SPF after STAR form. i can see the reason is to maintain the jump current of those who earn it in the first place. over all, be it SOF, NDU, DART or STAR. they are the best of the best within the own unit.
