          The STF is presently equipped with Glock pistols and Ak-47 rifles and the force will soon acquire bulletproof vests, vehicles and other resources required for effective operations.
          With the setting up of the STF, police organizations from Delhi, Tamilnadu and several other states have already started liasioning with it and sharing information, which could be crucial for curbing crime. The focus will be gangsters, hardened criminals, inter-state gunrunners and drug suppliers.
