Sir Charles Tegart (1881 - 1946) Colonial police officer and anti-terrorism and security specialist. Tegart's career began in Calcutta during British rule where he rose the position of Commissioner of the Police Force before becoming a member of the Secretary of State's Indian Council in 1931. He gained recognition for maintaining a tight rein on security during his tenure in India, and was an opponent of Indian nationalism and was known for his ruthless torture techniques. Considered an enemy by Indian freedom fighters, he survived a number of assassination attempts. In 1938, he was sent to the British Mandate of Palestine which was in the throes of the Arab Revolt to advise the Inspector General on matters of security. Tegart advised the construction of a large number of reinforced concrete police stations and posts which could be defended against attack, and of a frontier fence along the northern border of Palestine to control the movement of insurgents, goods and weapons. His recommendations were accepted and some 50 new "Tegart forts", as they came to be known, were built throughout Palestine. Many of them are still in use, some by Israeli forces and others by Palestinian ones, while others were destroyed in various rounds of fighting.
