Most members of a PSU work full time for these units. They perform missions other than restoring order at demonstrations: apprehending dangerous offenders, searching for missing persons, reinforcing local police for patrols, etc.
Canadians conducted an investigation during the Summit of the Americas in 2001 on the categories of demonstrators: Whatever the country, the demonstrators are not homogeneous. They are divided into several categories:
- The demonstrator who asks for permission to march and does not break anything. - The pacifist who is less convenient, - The adept of civil disobedience and sitting deliberately obstructing official ceremonies.
But it is on the fringe of these majority groups that the "dangerous categories": - First of all, the rioters, for whom the demonstration serves as an alibi; - and finally the groups made up of autonomists and anarchists, better and better equipped and using the method known as "Black Blocs", i.e. individuals hidden behind black masks, black gloves and black outfits and operating in groups so as not to be spotted during violent actions or damage.
In 2011, the PSU in different cities will be strongly mobilized following riots that became widespread after the death of a black man in London including Birmingham, 2 city in England.
Isolated acts were also reported in Manchester, Liverpool and Bristol
