The Territory Response Group (TRG) is the Police Tactical Group of the Northern Territory Police. Part of the Territory Response Section (formerly Territory Support Division) the TRG is tasked to provide general and specialist support to other units of the Northern Territory Police. It is closely aligned with the The NT Police Counter Terrorism Security Coordination Unit (CTSCU) which was formally established in July 2003 [cite web|title=Counter Terrorism Security Coordination Unit|url=http://www.nt.gov.au/pfes/PFES/index.cfm?fuseaction=page&p=150|publisher=Northern Territory Police] .
