An insider’s account of an elite unit fighting crime and terror on the streets of London—includes hundreds of photos. In this book, veteran firearms officer Stephen Smith goes behind the scenes of the Metropolitan Police’s Specialist Firearms Unit, CO19—covering a wide range of events in recent history, from the controversial shootings of Azelle Rodney in 2005 and Mark Duggan in 2011 to the terrorist attacks on Westminster, London Bridge and Borough Market, as well as stories from decades past. Through his unique access to CO19, Smith has managed to put together hundreds of detailed photographs, both historical and contemporary, along with text that goes a long way to explain why it is necessary to have such an elite firearms unit on standby 24/7 in London. This comprehensive volume will bring you up-to date with the training, operations, equipment, and mindset of these courageous individuals who put their lives on the line on a daily basis to keep London safe.
