The Security Response Section (SRS) is a unit of the South Australia Police, deployed to “at-risk”[1] crowded places such as large protests and AFL games,[1] and to conduct regular patrols of Rundle Mall, the Adelaide Railway Station and the Adelaide Central Market.[2] The SRS is a second-tier response between general duties and Special Tasks and Rescue (STAR Group).[3] Unlike regular police officers, the unit has enhanced tactical skills and operational equipment including combat helmets, ballistic vests and long-arm weapons such as semi-automatic rifles.[4][5] The unit is claimed to “significantly bolster public safety”.[6]
The unit was first flagged by the Government of South Australia in June 2019[7] and began operation as of 30 June 2020.[8] On its establishment, there were 48 members of the SRS section.[5] It consists of one inspector, one senior sergeant, six sergeants, six brevet sergeants and 33 constable/senior constables.[9]

The SRS will cost $9 million, spread between $2.6 million in 2019-20, $2.4 million in 2020-21, and $2.2 million per year from 2021-22.[7]
