Mandate
TIGRIS would intervene in situations where cantonal police would need federal assistance in solving matters out of their capacity. TIGRIS's missions are based on special operations with high risks and will not intervene in missions where canton police specialist units can handle the job themselves.
A report on TIGRIS was publicly announced, saying that the unit could probably operate in international territory according to its mandate.
