The assignments of the Special Intervention Unit include counterterrorism efforts, special personal protection assignments, special surveillance assignments, hostage rescue and personal protection in high-risk areas as well as the planning, management and execution of complex deployments.
The Special Intervention Unit cooperates closely with the rest of the Danish police and with special units from the armed forces, which for instance provide assistance in the form of personnel and ordnance for operational assignments and joint training.
As part of the national counterterrorism response, the armed forces provide permanent support in the form of a helicopter response team. Thus, the Special Intervention Unit can be deployed quickly by air in a counterterrorism operation or other foreseen/unforeseen operations.
