God there's something about CTSFO and similar operator types rolling up to a scene in jeans or sneakers that is both terrifying and badass. Somewhere between "you interrupted me on my day off and I'm pissed" and "when you gotta raid a house a 3, but have to run a marathon at 4" vibes.
CTSFO = Counter Terrorist Special Firearms Officer (The highest you can get in the police and is the line between Armed Police and SAS, effectively like the Armed Police but on crack)
There are 5 CT Hubs across the UK: North West, North East, South East, West Midlands and London. Each hub has a Lead Force that covers that region. For example, Greater Manchester Police are the lead force for the North West CT Hub and cover North Wales, Cheshire, Cumbria, Manchester, Merseyside and Isle of man. Most CT Hubs will recruit ARVs, from the surrounding forces, to upskill them to SFO/CTSFO.
@@noone-dq9wd you apply as a standard patrol Cunstable fir 2 years you then can apply fir specialist rolls one of them is firearms officer you most likely won’t be accepted unless you have 5 or more years in the force then you go through a couple months of training to become a sfo then you can addVance to afo then finally you can advance do ctsfo
@@UkArmedPolice Sorry to ask mate, but I heard a rumor that if you had served in the Armed Forces you don’t need any education requirements to join the Police, is this true?
@@observer3468 u can join the way everyone else can via apprenticeships and what not or if u served in the RMP (Royal Military Police) the qualifications crossover I am not too sure of anything else tho. I hope this helps 👍
@@C2478_ kid, the CTSFO are a basic armed police tactical unit, they go through the same levels of training as armed units, we've already got specialist armed units which are certainly more specialised & experienced then these ever will be... No they are not compared to the HRT units. the CTSFO are in response to the increased organised drug & gang crime... the armed police units (not the basic armed police in X3's & so-on) are already trained in hostage rescue, they have been for many years & pretty much every county within the uk has its own specialist units if such case turns up.
@@malp6280 as a matter of fact CTSFO is way better than standard armed units, these guys are trained by SAS, oh an also even FBI members have said in the past these guys are basically the FBI HRT

If you like that you should definitely check out the dutch DSI
Yeah, like ARU too.
For me it's the guy at 23 secs that looks the most badass
If CTSFO had a theme song then this would be it.
Deffentily
Hahahahahahhaa
Nah this too cringe
The terrorists when they see these guys roll up:
*Haha I'm dead*
@@CosmicLazer06 their the same thing whsts your point

I’m sure you’d piss on them mate 😂
When i grow up. i wanna be in the CTSFO
Bravo six going dark
In my opinion, I think CTSFO & ARU should get paid more because their risking their lives even more with carrying firearms and stuff
and the music gose perfect with this!
Sir I had Goosebumps its so Cool
ctsfo is so awesome
Destroy the theme of the prominent CTSFO
respect we are the best!
Where’d u get the footage at 3:07?
They are a few, they destroy ya see them ya sh yourself
CTSFO is what i whant to do when i grow up heck yea
I feel like the music isnt right, "Rip their throats out" hm not sure
Do train to shoot in the face to disrupt the central nervous system. 5.56 to the mouth might do some damage to that degree
lol why? cops should be feared by criminals.. Most uk cops suck because they are nothing more than a smiley civilian with a stick
@AjGamesYT oh sorry a "bAtoN". Oh and a toy gun aka tazer
@@dedeferreira98 that means usa cops are just as bad because if they didn't have guns they would fall under the same skill category 🤣🤣

Is the music suitable when all we hear is ‘defund the police’ ‘police brutality’ 🤔🤔🤔
Yes
CTSFO don't take the opinions of snowflakes / nobody's, into account. So yes it's appropriate.
Awful music. Rest good
The fuck is this music
