EXCLUSIVE! Bombs, smoke and fire…riot training caught on body-worn camera for first time! State-of-the-art technology has helped us capture exclusive footage of riot training in action, offering a fascinating insight into the dangers faced by public order officers at West Midlands Police. 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 14-minute operation was recorded first-hand from Sgt Webb’s perspective on body-worn video and has been edited into a 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. Shouts of bomb and stamp your feet can be heard as Sgt Webb bellows commands to his team − looking out for their safety and keeping them together as they advance through the ‘town’.
