Tactical Firearms Unit
Tactical Firearms Unit
If a firearms incident occurs, these officers are assigned to deal with it. They are able to be deployed all across Sussex, dealing with high priority crime such as drugs, burglary and violent crime. All Tactical firearms (TFU) officers are trained in conflict resolution methods, meaning every incident is resolved using the minimum amount of force necessary.
Non-lethal methods used by officers include the Baton Gun for firing rubber bullets and the Taser stun-gun. Officers are rigorously trained in threat assessment and perception, ready to make split-second decisions to protect the public against threats of violence.
