All our Authorised Firearms officer standard medical training is highly practical, focused on the realities of providing medical care, often within a cordon.

Our training courses include a large amount of scenario based learning and practice, using casualty scenarios relevant to the firearms team. Our training kit reflects the medical kits carried by the enhanced level authorised firearms officer and allows then to train as they deploy.
