When was SPG established?

The Special Protection Group (SPG) was raised in 1985 with the intention of providing close security cover to the Prime Minister, former Prime Ministers and their immediate family members. SPG officers possess high leadership qualities, professionalism, knowledge of close protection and a culture of leadership from the front. The SPG has tried to achieve this by adopting innovative methods not only in its own work but also in the overall security arrangements in collaboration with the IB and State/UT Police Forces. It is because of the high leadership qualities, professionalism and knowledge of its officers that the SPG ensures fail-proof and error-free security to its protectees.
