Firearms

Working closely with the ACPO Lead and the Secretariat on the Police Use Of Firearms, we provide operational support to the Police Service across the UK in relation to firearms incidents and operations.

We offer consultancy on:

  • Planning
  • Command
  • Debriefing
  • Training 

Subject to operational criteria (risk assessment), we will attend:

  • Incidents and operations of national (pan-UK) significance
  • Incidents and operations with unique operational features
  • Incidents and events that have cross-border or regional implications.


On-site services may include:

  • Operational guidance and advice relating to planning and operational practice
  • Strategical advice and guidance on operational considerations, good practice and procedures.


Through our research we develop and promote good practice in the Police Use of Firearms in order to enhance operational efficiency and effectiveness. We also provide exchange of information, via our secure access site, Genesis, for the Police Service and the wider police family.
