Intervention Police (Hungarian: Készenléti Rendőrség); also translated as Reaction Police, Response Police and Emergency Police, is the principal tactical unit and gendarmerie force of the Police of Hungary, dedicated to deal with serious crimes, riots and crowd control. The modern Intervention Police units trace their origin to the Interior Ministry Forces (Belügyminisztérium Karhatalma), known colloquially as Internal Forces (BM Belső Karhatalom).
