Welcome to the Police Firearms Officers Association website. The PFOA has been created to support all those involved in firearms operations, and their families. It is managed by serving and retired police officers with many years experience in this field. We offer a unique package of support for officers and their families, which is supported by ACPO Firearms, The Police Federation of England & Wales, The Superintendents Association and the Public and Commercial Services Union. We are a non political, not for profits Association.

You will find many informative articles on the website, as well as information about us, discount shops and latest news and events. If you are a serving or retired firearms officer or commander, you can join us today and become part of a unique Association that really cares for those who are prepared to take on the huge responsibility of carrying a firearm, or making decisions within the command structure of firearms operations. Our members include firearms officers, Strategic, Tactical and Operational Firearms Commanders, Tactical advisors, Post Incident Managers, Weapons issuing Officers and retired officers.

We have 13 specially trained counsellors and 12 Paradigmatic Coaches available within 24 hours to assist officers and their families. If you want to speak with someone who has been involved in an incident similar to your own, then we will arrange it from our vast network of contacts. We have members in 49 forces and agencies. The PFOA is now mentioned in the ACPO Manual for the 'Police use of Firearms' with regards to support for officers families.

We help organise family days for firearms units, and have our own training department, which offers unique training for the police service and private companies. We also produce a monthly newsletter with latest news and articles.

We are contactable during working hours through the PFOA office, either by phone or email.

If you want to write an article for the website or newsletter then please get in touch with us, we are always happy to hear about peoples hobbies and experiences.

Enjoy the website!
