Scotland Yard shows off the first of 600 awesomely armed (and masked) Counter-Terrorism firearms officers who hit the streets today in vans, boats and MOTORBIKES
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...rain-officers-outside-capital.html#newcomment
The heavily armed officers carry semi-automatic SIG Carbine rifles, sniper rifles, shot guns, hand guns and tasers as well as extensive body armour - plus other tools including disc cutters, crow bars and hydraulic rams
As well as guns, the new generation of armed officers also have BMW F800GS motorbikes to allow them to scramble to an incident anywhere in the capital and speed boats so they can deploy from the Thames.
Met Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said the deployment of additional patrols was a direct response to the wave of terror attacks in Europe
Sir Bernard today said when Britain has 'people as enemies who've got guns, we've got to have guns' and warned potential terrorists his officers were well trained in how to use their weapons
Additional armed police patrols have taken to the streets of London today in response to the spate of terror attacks in Europe despite their being no specific intelligence of an imminent threat in the UK
The BMW F800GS motorbikes purchased for the units are intended for use if the officers need to rapidly deploy through traffic in London
The new police patrols have specialist speed boats so they can deploy from the River Thames in an emergency
Armed Metropolitan Police counter terrorism officers take part in an exercise on the River Thames in London today, as Scotland Yard announced that the first of 600 additional armed officers were trained and operationally ready, and unveiled plans to put more marksmen on public patrol
