The Special Police Units or Police Special Units (Serbian: Posebne jedinice policije, PJP) was a special police force unit of Serbia's Ministry of Internal Affairs (MUP).^[1] It had several detachments and was part of the sector of the State Security Directorate.^[2] It was disbanded on 28 June 2001 when it was replaced by the re-establishment of the Gendarmery.^[3]

Between 1994 and 1996 it was commanded by Obrad Stevanović.^[4] During the Kosovo War (1998–99), the force had an estimated 5,000^[5][6] or 7,000 men.^[6] The PJP detachments were based at Belgrade, Novi Sad, Kragujevac, Užice, Niš and Priština.^[5] It is believed that it was commanded by Obrad Stevanović, now the head of police.^[6] Its elite unit was the "Lightning" (Munje) unit, according to M. McAllester partly made up of "some of Yugoslavia's most dangerous criminals".^[7] Among other special units active in the war was the Special Anti-Terrorist Unit (SAJ), a separate part of the MUP.^[8]
