Role of Puducherry police special task force in crime control

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the effectiveness of special police units on the example of STF. Some crimes require the police to change their usual process and accept something out of the ordinary so that they can effectively reach the real culprits or solve a complex case that has a wide network. This led to the creation of a new police unit. In Puducherry, India, the Special Task Force (STF) is a unit of the state police that deals with tasks beyond the control of the ordinary criminal police. They are a specialized unit with jurisdiction across the state and often use the means they want to solve crimes. Thus, the most heinous crimes, which often involve sophisticated gangs, are considered by the STF. In this way, the STF has become the type of unit needed to investigate crimes and solve impossible cases with maximum devotion and perseverance.
