@NPFSU officers team up with Great North Air Ambulance Service to help give doctors & paramedics a taste of working in a mass casualty incident. The event was organised by the @GNairambulance This type of collaborative training is both vital & rewarding #npfsu #armedpolicing

Great teamwork yet again. 🚔🚁👍🏼
This one stolen last night from the @NPSunderland area. Pursued & crazy attempt to get away. Thankfully no one hurt and 3 more customers for the custody sgt. I’ve said it loads but @NPFSU @npdogsection @NPASNewcastle & our shift are a tremendous team. #alldaybreakfastfor3 please

Training and teamwork. 👍🏼
2nd pursuit 🤦🏼♂️ occupants of this one involved in a nasty assault. Great bit of initial pursuit skills by @NPFSU which allowed us to get to the scene and take over the pursuit. Stinger deployed on this one leading to 2 more in custody. All happening in @npnorthtyneside tonight 🦔
