I've looked on Met Police site and from I can gather they both tend to fight the same things.

So when is it decided if SB or CRW get sent in?

Any ideas?

...as in, crime?

I'm not sure this is really the place to ask. Aren't there police forums somewhere?

Have a look here.

Hope that helps.
But if you want to be a REAL police officer,
look at the PCSO web site.
Join them and you won't get hurt,or drown or anything really.

There's always Police jobs overseas,Australia,NZ.Even the US although you have to have an education to become'Chief Wigham'

You are taking the piss right?

Actually I wasn't taking the piss and don't treat me like a child with your silly PCSO quotes.

The reason I asked was because on the Met site under Counter Terrorsim Command http://www.met.police.uk/so/counter_terrorism.htm it lists 2 of the roles as:

To bring to justice those engaged in terrorist, domestic extremist and related offences
To provide a proactive and reactive response to terrorist, domestic extremist and related offences, including the prevention and disruption of terrorist activity

On 'Soldier X' website (written by someone who knew a friend in the SAS- www.stuff.themutual.net its lists the Anti-Terrorist-Team http://www.stuff.themutual.net/at.htm role as:

the heads of government made a secret pact to build up dedicated domestic forces capable of dealing with any terrorist situation

I'm sorry I first said CRW its not untill I found this site I found out about the anti terror team.

My question is if both are designed to go into a terrorist situation who or what decides if the SAS or SB go in?

Actually I wasn't taking the piss and don't treat me like a child with your silly PCSO quotes.

You're right, even a child would be able to spell branch correctly for a topic title.

First off don't get snippy with me.
Second you are asking two vastly different questions.
Comparing SAS with Police anti-terrorist squads is ridiculous.
Maybe you should ask the right questions huh?

I'm not trying to compare them!

I'm simply asking who or what decides which deals with what incident.

If you don't want me to get snippy then don't try and act so funny.

I'm not being funny.
Can you imagine how many times we have to answer such bone questions from imbeciles who cant find the search button?

In answer to the first bone one.

YOUR GOVERNMENT!!!
Now go away and bother someone else.

Look I was simply trying to ask a question.

I wasn't trying to compare them in any way at all.

I just wanted to know what decided if the Police or SAS went into a terrorist situation.

The supposed threat and complexity of the situation.

HOPE THIS HELPS...The guy is giving up his free time and you are rude back.

If you can't control yourself stay off the site and don't waste our time.

The answer to your question is quite simple, the Police decide when to relinquish command to the military.

The police handle all investigations into terrorism, if a situation occurs where force is necessary the police will use one of their armed response teams, however if the Police decide that the situation is no longer within their control, this would be when the decision is made to hand over control to the military.

To give you a quick example of this, The Iranian Embassy siege; the police responded and set up a cordon and tried negotiating with the terrorists, however once they realised that they couldn't talk them out without any further loss of life they handed over to the military (SAS) who then assaulted the building.

Hope that helps clarify a few things for you. But honestly mate if you want a serious answer to your questions in future you're going to have to change your attitude and grow up a bit.

Guys,

I think you should give the guy a break - he's only deciding which unit he should join to give him maximum exposure to brassing-up terrorists, baddies and the like.

Unsure23 - If you're young enough I would join both - preferably 22 first, giving you the maximum amount of time to grow the requisite 'tash before being able to 'retire' to SO19 as an 'ex-desmond' and possibly have the bushiest 'tash on the wing.

I envy you young un's - the world is your oyster.

Regards,

CS
