K-Commando (K-Komando) is a special unit of the Estonian Criminal Police, created in the early 1990s. It is a special unit of the Estonian police force similar in function to the SWAT teams in the U.S., and is responsible for such issues as managing hostage situations, riot management, high-risk raids and close-protection.
