Special Patrol Group (RUC)
The Special Patrol Group (SPG) of the Royal Ulster Constabulary was a tactical reserve of 150 officers which had the role: ''to provide backup in civil commotion, to police sensitive areas at times of confrontation, and to show the flag in a disciplined and impressive way to those who wished to break the peace.'' 〔Doherty p58〕 Formerly known as the Police Reserve Force, the name was changed to Special Patrol Group in 1970 to avoid confusion between the Reserve Force and the newly formed RUC Reserve.〔Doherty p93〕
==History==
Each SPG had 30 members. These were the first policemen trained by the British Army in the use of riot equipment and tactics which it had developed since starting Operation Banner in Northern Ireland in 1969.〔Doherty p134〕 They were given upgraded weaponry and dispersed in units across the region.〔Ellison:Smyth p105〕
The SPG was the closest thing the RUC had to a dedicated anti-paramilitary unit in the earlier days of the Troubles. The British Army disagreed with its use, believing that army units were better disposed to carry out this role.〔
