Police Special Operations Group

[3][2] The vast majority of GOSP members come from police task forces such as the BRI (Brigade de recherche et d'intervention) or the BMPJ (Brigade mobile de la Police judiciaire).

GOSP police officers are trained in the DSI (Special Intervention Detachment), which is the Algerian equivalent of the French GIGN.

They are trained in urban, semi-urban, closed environment and close combat.They have drawn much inspiration from Western intervention groups and have also been trained in the Portuguese Special Operations Group, the Spanish GEO, the Italian GIS, the German GSG 9, and the French RAID.

Once a year every year the gosp carries out large-scale simulations and training in airports these simulations revolve around the resolution of taking hostages in Tébessa in 2019 or a hostage crisis in an airplane with clearing landmines as in Béjaïa in 2017, and in Constantine in 2018.

[4][5] Its realistic simulations are made to judge the operational level of the GOSP and the reaction time of the unit.
