The Operational Firearms Commander rank is one of the highest positions within SCO-19, reserved for officers who have consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership, professionalism, and dedication to the division.
As an OFC, you have proven your ability to apply the training you have received and have actively contributed to the development of others, by assisting with training sessions, whether through roleplay scenarios to enhance realism or by mentoring newer officers.
At the OFC level, you are expected to continue setting the standard within SCO-19 by overseeing training sessions and independently delivering them when required, ensuring they are conducted in a professional and effective manner.
At this level, OFCs play a key role in developing the next wave of firearms officers and are authorised to deliver Glock, Shotgun, Basic Negotiation and Breaching Training to other members of the faction.
OFCs are granted access to specialist equipment, including the SIG MCX assault rifle, Flashbangs, and Smoke Grenades. They are eligible to undertake High-Speed Training and have the authority to authorise Low-Speed tactical contact when appropriate. They are also eligilble to complete Helicopter Training.
As senior members of SCO-19, OFCs are expected to set the standard for the division, provide guidance to junior officers, and ensure that training and operations are conducted to the highest possible standard.
Before being considered for promotion to TRO, officers must fulfil their duties as an OFC, demonstrating exceptional leadership skills and maintaining a professional attitude both on patrol and whilst conducting training sessions.
Promotion to TRO is awarded at the discretion of SCO-19 Command once an officer has proven they are ready to take on the additional responsibilities associated with the role. Officers must show a sustained commitment to the division, lead by example, and consistently uphold the standards expected of senior firearms officers.
