a special Powered Suit Assault Force
by the primary translator Frederik L. Schodt, in the original manga bilingual edition vol.1#02, Kodansha.

Chief Aramaki informs Major Kusanagi "Eighty percent of the budget goes to the formation of a special Powered Suit Assault Force"(予算の８割は「攻殻機動隊」の創設資金となる)

Shell Squad
by the translator Shoko Oono in “STAND ALONE COMPLEX Official Log 1” page 009 (Bandai Entertainment) The original manga editor Koichi Yuri (Young Magazine Pirates Edition) comments "he came up with Koukaku Kidou Tai (Shell Squad)"(「攻殻機動隊」というタイトルをつけてくれてね. )

So, the translation title “Mobile Armored Riot Police” currently in the page is unsourced and unofficial. I’d suggest we should replace the “riot police” with existing official translations. The Public Security Section 9 has never suppressed any rioters, that’s out of their mission. Section 9 is never like HongKong or AKIRA Neo Tokyo’s anti-riot police.
