Met Police Unit CT-SFO Firearms

Meet CT-SFO, the Met’s Counter Terrorist Specialist Firearms Officers.

The ones who do not shout, do not panic, and definitely do not ask you to repeat yourself.

These are the elite firearms teams trained for the highest risk incidents, from marauding terrorist attacks to armed sieges, where every second counts and hesitation is not a luxury. Calm, disciplined, and ruthlessly professional, CT-SFO are the officers you want arriving when London needs the very best.

This artwork captures the unmistakable look of modern specialist policing. Helmet, goggles, comms, armour, weapon system, and that laser focused stare that says:

“Before you move, I need to know one thing. Are you police, or are you about to make today very complicated?”

Painted by retired Senior Police Artist Jan Szymczuk, also known as Boris, this piece is both tribute and time capsule. A sharp snapshot of the modern Met and the specialist officers who stand ready when the rest of the city is still trying to work out what is happening.

Available framed in two sizes, with a choice of black or white mount.
