Does the RAF Police Carry Firearms

The request was successful.

Dear Royal Air Force,

I have a question regarding the role of the RAF Force Protection Police who are both reserves and full time personnel.

As part of their role as RAF Police officers, are they trained on firearms that the regular military use.

Secondly, does the RAF police carry out duties with firearms to protect RAF establishments like airbases just like other branches of the military?

Yours faithfully,

Caolan
