I can't understand how most forces 2 crew their ARV's, on a busy day its manic, dealing with the comms and map reading.
My busiest day on the ARV's, 1400hrs deployed down to South Norwood and detained 3 armed robbers, redeployed to Hayes West London to intercept other armed robbers coming into London from Thames Valley who were being followed by the Flying Squad, numerous non compliant stops initiated on vehicles in Hayes and persons detained. A number of armed dig outs were then initiated in West London by all the ARVs in London. Redeployed to hostage situation in Southall, once completed redeployed to more armed dig outs concerned in the Thames Valley armed robberies. 11pm get our first brew. These were the times when there was only about 8 ARV's on shift for London.
This was a very busy day, and is the subject of an excellent story involving one of the crews, but i couldn't have imagined doing this day in just a 2 crewed ARV.
