UK Security Guide: Riot Police
The UK riot police system is divided into three levels:
**Level 3 * * - Ordinary police officers who receive basic training and have lower physical requirements.
**Level 2 * * - These are ordinary police officers who have undergone public order training and perform public order tasks in addition to their daily duties. In London, there are approximately 3500 well-trained Level 2 police officers with high physical fitness requirements.
**Level 1 * * - Full time police officer. Only accept and execute public order tasks. In London, these police officers are known as TSG (Local Support Group), with approximately 500 members and extremely high physical fitness requirements.
The French riot police widely use CS spray. We can't believe that we allow violent protesters to get so close. We should use more rapid assault teams to break through shield walls and capture key troublemakers to deter others.
