The Greek Police (ELAS) staged an impressive demonstration of operational readiness, coordination and advanced technology at the 90th Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF).<\/h3>\n

The demonstration followed the inauguration of the Greek Police Information Centre by Parliament Speaker Nikitas Kaklamanis and Citizen Protection Minister Michalis Chrysochoidis.<\/p>\n

EKAM joins Italian and Austrian special forces<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Personnel from EKAM, Italy\u2019s G.I.S. and Austria\u2019s EKO Cobra took part in a joint high-risk intervention scenario.<\/p>\n

The three elite units operate within the European ATLAS network, which brings together special intervention units from across Europe.<\/p>\n

The scenario involved an armed robber who had barricaded himself inside a building.<\/p>\n

Police first alerted the Immediate Action unit before heavily armed EKAM officers arrived to handle the high-risk situation.<\/p>\n

Robot dog takes the lead<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

A robotic dog played a key role in the operation.<\/p>\n

The Robot Dog approached the location first and opened the door, allowing the special forces to assess the situation and gain a crucial operational advantage.<\/p>\n

The robot also removed the suspect\u2019s weapon from the area after police used a loudspeaker to order him to place the weapon on the ground.<\/p>\n

The demonstration highlighted how robotic systems can allow police to approach potentially dangerous situations while reducing the immediate risk to officers.<\/p>\n

EKAM officers storm the building<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

EKAM officers then entered the building with speed and precision, overpowering and arresting the suspect.<\/p>\n

Throughout the operation, drones flew above the location, providing a continuous view of the scene and relaying critical information to the teams on the ground.<\/p>\n

The coordinated use of special forces, drones and robotic technology drew strong applause from spectators watching the demonstration.<\/p>\n

The exercise at the 90th TIF showcased how Greece\u2019s security forces are increasingly combining specialised personnel with advanced technological systems in high-risk operations.<\/p>\n
