Officers from the BTP’s Armed Policing Unit deploy across the rail network to disrupt and deter both terrorist and criminal activity. The team will be returning to this year’s Rail Live to showcase a selection of their equipment which includes firearms, less lethal devices and door entry apparatus. Officers will be available to discuss the role Armed Policing plays in enhancing station security around some of the nation’s busiest railway stations and will be demonstrating their search and detainment expertise.
Watch the BTP Firearms displays at 10:30am, 12:30 and 14:00.
