This unit is under the command of the Operative Directorate of the Colombian National Police. HistoryThe Escuadrón Móvil Antidisturbios (ESMAD) was born as a decentralized unit from the Colombian National Police on February 24, 1999 by a transitional directorate, beginning with 9 officers, 8 non-commissioned officers and 200 patrollers mainly to support Colombian Departments and Metropolitan police forces to control and/or neutralize population disturbances or public events when their forces seem outnumbered or incapable to handle their action capacity. It was later legalized by resolution 01363 of April 14, 1999. The unit is also trained on human rights issues[1]{{Failed verification|date=November 2016}} however in 2006, it was largely criticized and questioned for some of their actions during the National University of Colombia terrorist attacks.
