What does it really take to serve as a specialist firearms officer in one of the world’s busiest police forces?In this episode, we sit down with Tony Long, a former specialist firearms officer with the Metropolitan Police, to talk about the realities of armed policing in London. From the intense selection and training process to the pressure of making life-or-death decisions in seconds, Tony shares what life was really like behind the badge.We discuss the challenges of operating in high-risk situations, the mindset required to carry a firearm in the UK, and the moments that stay with officers long after the job is done. Tony also reflects on the public perception of armed police and the responsibility that comes with being trusted to protect the public in the most dangerous circumstances.This is a rare behind-the-scenes look at a role most people only ever see in headlines.Keep up to date with The SRMC Tribe Podcast https://www.instagram.com/the_srmc_tribe_podcast/Keep up to date with Frontier Risks Group https://www.frontierrisks.com/
