The Police Firearms Officers Association was established in 2009 by serving firearms officers 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 and offers a unique package of support.
PFOA provides unique and discreet welfare support to officers and their families, which includes access to more than 200 counsellors, eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing therapy (EMDR), a psychological approach for treating trauma, and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
There are also 20 PFOA coaches (all serving firearms officers) who specialise in neuro-linguistic programming and emotional freedom techniques.
Membership of the PFOA is £5 per month* and is open to all those involved in any aspect of firearms policing.
