The Ultimate

PFOA Car fleet
This month will see us bid farewell to the Skoda Citigo and BMW 116d
ED. The two cars have served us well and have been very reliable and
economical. They are making way for a new BMW 520d Touring supplied
by our friends at BMW ISSD at an amazing price (too good to print as
they say!!) We will just be running the one car from now onwards.

New Offices

The PFOA is in negotiations with a Police Service to occupy a rural police
station for use as our HQ. We hope to have some news in the next month
or so with regards to a date for the move. The costings and plans for the
building will be tabled at the PFOA AGM on Friday 12th September for
those present and the Trustees to discuss. There are a number of ideas for
the building including a Police Firearms Museum!
Promo DVD

The new PFOA promotional DVD is finished! It will start to circulate around the
firearms units over the next few weeks. The first part of the DVD can be viewed
on our website now. A big thanks go to Lorne Guy and Good Guys Productions
for putting it together. The DVD explains what we do and why we do it! There
are officers explaining how the PFOA has helped them and their families as
well as an actor portraying a principal officer we are supporting. If you want BMW-UK FORCES PFOA SCHEME.
