British Counter Terrorism Special Firearms Officers

  1. A Counter Terrorist Specialist Firearms Officer ([CTSFOs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter_Terrorist_Specialist_Firearms_Officer)) is a United Kingdom police firearms officer. The CTSFO standard is the highest Authorised Firearms Officer level in the National Police Firearms Training Curriculum (NPFTC) and was established by the Metropolitan Police Service in the lead up to the 2012 Summer Olympics held in London on 27th of July. The firearms units of police forces organise CTSFOs into teams to establish a police tactical unit.

    A national capability to respond to terrorist incidents such as marauding terrorist attacks (MTA) through collaboration of police forces who maintain CTSFO teams was established known as the CTSFO Network. ([source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter_Terrorist_Specialist_Firearms_Officer))

  2. Are these the boys and girls that are trained to use Mossad techniques?

    Edit: oh no, that was S019.

  3. So why they on German bikes, eh? *German!* We won the Brexits! They should be on Royal Enfield like dear ol’ grandpappy in the war.

  4. Anyone else think if you were to hide their insignia and lose the caption, that it’d be entirely believable they’re from an authoritarian state?

    If you saw Putin in the photo (topless, as he often does), you wouldn’t bat an eyelid, it’d be so on-brand!

  5. I saw this photograph once, and then have never seen anything similar to it again. I’ve never even seen a CTFSO riding a bike photograph ever again. They just seem to do the especially dodgy door knocking jobs. Did they give up on the bike idea?

  6. Met police CTSFO, shown and promoted in Call of Duty 2019, for anyone curious about the reach of military fetishism.
