                   As a response to these problems, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department (TMPD) established the SIT unit within their Criminal Investigation Bureau in 1964. These detectives were well acquainted with new technology and special tactics to track and capture the criminals quickly and accurately. At the beginning, the name "SIT" came from an acronym of its romanized Japanese unit name, Special team of the First Investigation Division.This idea achieved a great success that in 1970, the National Police Agency (NPA) requested the establishment of these kind of units for other Prefectural Police forces throughout Japan.All unit are established in the First Investigation Divisions of each Prefectural Police Departments. These units are generally local-based, so organizations (including their unit names) and equipment are varied. Among them, the Special Investigations Team (SIT) of the TMPD and the Martial Arts Attack Team (MAAT) of the Osaka Prefectural Police are the front-runner, so in hostage cases in rural areas, the NPA order these units to dispatch reinforcements to the relevant Prefectural Police.
