GSG 9 of Germany

This police force is regarded as one of the most prestigious and skilled in the entire globe. The incident that took place during the 1972 Olympic Games was the primary driver behind the necessity to establish this police squad. The 1972 Munich Olympics, where 11 Israeli athletes were murdered by terrorists, was a tragic worldwide event, and GSG 9 was created as a result of the German police's lack of preparation for such an assault.

The fact that only officers with two years of experience may join GSG 9 is its most significant feature. Before beginning their 16-week basic training and further nine-week specialty training, applicants must complete extensive medical and psychological training. They must also be excellent shooters. Out of the five hopefuls, only one survives the demanding training. This police squad has carried out more than 1,500 operations since it was established; most surprisingly, they have only had to use their weapons five times.
