In March, Tarmo Sikkel will take over as the head of the K-Commando special unit, a key role within the Estonian police force. Sikkel brings over 20 years of experience within the police, which is expected to enhance the operational readiness and strategic approach of the unit. He succeeds Marek Aas, the current leader, who will remain in service but transition away from the leadership role of K-Commando.

The K-Commando unit is a critical component of the Estonian police, tasked with handling high-risk situations and operations that require specialized training and tactical expertise. The change in leadership is seen as an opportunity for the unit to leverage Sikkel's extensive experience in law enforcement, which could influence training methods, operational strategies, and inter-agency collaboration.

Marek Aas's continued involvement in the police force suggests a commitment to ongoing stability and continuity within the unit and the broader police organization. The transition could have implications for future operational policies and unit initiatives aimed at enhancing public safety and emergency response in Estonia, particularly in light of evolving security challenges.
