Newfoundking Posted December 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Greater Manchester Police firearms unit? In well England/Wales, Greater ManchesterIt's like a SWAT team vehicle, well sorta. It's basically armed response, since regular cops don't carry in England, because they're not so gun happy over there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out some smack head had a kid hostage with a rifle (air-rifle, because y'know we wouldn't be daft enough to hand out real guns ). So yeah these guys turn up and bust down doors and all that jazz.Manchester Armed Response Unit, Greater Manchester Police, UKx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyson Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Britain Scotland,Wales and Northern Ireland are there too lolYes, but I think he meant specifically England/Wales area, which was correct and is slightly different to Scotland, in markings and vehicles. And extremely different to Ireland, which looks more like tanks than Police vehicles haha!x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritishArmyReserveCadets Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 It was like an introduction about WMAS, we had talks from Health and Safety (Which was actually quite fun to say the least) the Emergency Operations Center (Got to see live calls coming in on the CAD), the Major Incident Preparedness Team, a Community First Responder, a Paramedic Practitioner, Steve Cooper from the bike response unit (from emergency bikers) also had a visit from HART (but then they got called away to the suspected bomb incident on the M6 Toll a while back ) a visit to the Midlands Air Ambulance (But that was also out on call -.-) and alot of free teas from the standby/staff/rest room Ps; If anyone is looking to do work experience with WMAS and lives in the West Midlands area, drop me a PM.

theocd Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 I would like who owns this and for what purpose:As a BONUS and a point of intrigue, in other words worth nothing but I thought the guys on this thread were best to ask, I saw these a few months back, I have never seen any other images of them or heard of them before - any guesses. (Basically, I was going to post these but I couldn't find any pictures other than mine - so it would have been mean and against the rules. I do know what they're for, I'm just intrigued as to who else does)Cheers guys The OC-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritishArmyReserveCadets Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 In response to the other one, i found these on the internet (same registration, but the vehicle in your pic dosent have any livery on it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theocd Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Ah, they must have liveried them up post Olympics - someone's identified them as HART as well, but they don't know their purpose.. They followed the Olympic convoy about 15 minutes after it passed, I was on with St John and a colleague knew the driver - they contain Mass Casualty equipment, each can deal with 50-100 casualties, cool stuff.Cheers for that, this is the first time I've posted the pics, I'd forgot I'd got a good shot of the number plate The OC-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newfoundking Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 That's an Israeli Bomb Disposal Unit. I recognized the writing on the back as Hebrew, and the logo as the universal EOD symbol apparently. A google search then lead me to discover that this matched the Israeli Police EOD's unit. I don't know where in Israel it is based, but I know this much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
