    UP ATS Office Address

    UP ATS is headquartered at Amausi Railway Station Road, Anaura, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh- 226008.

    Anti-Terrorism Squad India

    Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) was founded in Maharashtra in 1990 by the then Additional Commissioner of Mumbai Police A.A. Khan. Khan was inspired by the methodology used by the SWAT teams of the Los Angeles Police Department to combat terrorism. 

    While the ATS officers won many gallantry awards and helped reduce the crime rate, the organization was briefly dissolved in January 1993 following the 1991 Lokhandwala Complex shootout on 16 November 1991.

    However, due to the increased crime rate and terror attacks in the country, the Anti-Terrorism Squads were re-created by the respective state governments to counter-terrorism.

    At present, many states pan India including Maharashtra, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, Rajasthan, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, and West Bengal have Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS). The squad deals in air assault, close-quarters combat, counter-insurgency, counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, human intelligence, and special operations.

    Objectives of Anti-Terrorism Squad

    Some of the objectives of the Anti-Terrorism Squad are listed below:

    1- To collect information about anti-national elements working in their respective states. 
    2- To coordinate with central information agencies of the country such as IB and RAW and other similar state agencies. 
    3- To track and eliminate activities of mafias, gangsters, and other people involved in organized crimes.
    4- To detect and eliminate rackets of counterfeit currency notes and smuggling narcotic substances.
