The Urban Operational Tactical Intelligence Unit (Spanish: Unidad de Inteligencia Táctica Operativa Urbana), better known as the Grupo Terna, is a specialised unit of the Special Operations Division (better known as the "Green Squadron") of the National Police of Peru. It consists of police officers dressed in plain clothes, who blend in with criminal areas and intervene against people who commit flagrant crimes, using operational tactical intelligence.

Its name comes from its method of operations, which usually involves groups of three.
