The Research and Intervention Brigade (BRI) is a shock group inspired by the French BIS. The BIS was created in 2005 to replace the Police Special Intervention Unit (UISP) which was disbanded earlier.

History

The BRI officially replaced the then elite UISP in 2005. However, the BIS is affiliated to the Judicial Police, unlike the UISP, which was directly affiliated to the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN).[ citation needed ]

From 2005, the first training courses were held with the BIS in Paris, which provides "advanced" training for members of this group.[ citation needed ]

In 2007 and 2008, the Intervention Group of the French National Police provides training courses for members of the BRI. In 2008, some 40 police officers went to the United States for training in countering maritime piracy.[ citation needed ]
