The National Tactical Response Group (NTRG) is a specialist unit of Her Majesty's Prison Service equipped to respond to serious incidents in prisons, in particular protests[1][2] and hostage taking incidents.[3]

Deployments of the NTRG are overseen at a national management level, and where escalation from localised 'Tornado Teams' is deemed appropriate.

In 2018, the unit was deployed 640 times to prisons across England and Wales.[2]
