EXCLUSIVE VIDEO - BOMBS, SMOKE and FIRE caught on camera during disorder training exercise! State-of-the-art technology has helped police capture exclusive footage of riot training in action, offering a fascinating insight into the dangers faced by our public order officers. During a recent exercise at our training ground in Shropshire a camera was attached to the chest of Sergeant Russell Webb as he led a team through a full-scale disorder scenario. He was charged with managing the group of officers as they brought an angry mob of petrol-bomb throwing thugs − played by colleagues − under control, inside a disused aircraft hangar. The operation was recorded first-hand from Sgt Webb’s perspective on body-worn video and has been edited into this short film. The footage encapsulates the pressure that officers are under as they are forced to make split-second decisions on the best way to bring order over the baying crowd.
