Cork Gardaí Armed Unit: Watch Intense Training for Raids and Arrests
The video displays specialized unit actions and their responses to callouts. Suiting up and breaching rooms is shown. This occurs at their Cobh training facility.
Dispatch sends units a call. They inform them about a situation where a man present may have a gun.
Armed Gardaí patrol, responding to this call in squad cars with lights flashing. Gardaí exit in tactical gear, ready to breach the door.
The video shows the breach process. One Garda uses shield and pistol. They enter after a grenade. Colleagues with submachine guns follow, disarming suspects and arresting them.
A Garda source stated the job is hard, high-risk work. It needs lots of experience and special training beyond standard Garda training.
They prioritize others’ safety, even when it is quite dangerous. This role makes a real difference.
The Garda has 14,058 members, below 2009 levels due to a recruitment freeze. New Garda recruitment efforts exist now. They raised the trainee age to 50.
Fitness test requirements also changed this week. Dr. Niall Moyna criticized the fitness test change, calling it a ‘retrograde step’ and stating minimum standards are required.
He thinks Gardaí need physical fitness because they work long shifts and must be ready anytime. Lowering standards is bad.
Stephen Moore, a former Garda, spoke about recruitment, noting staff retention is a struggle due to lack of support. He added that fewer Gardaí exist now, making things tougher for all, and personal issues can also be a factor.
Transfer options can be limited which can impact Gardaí. Societal changes also play a part, as the job may not be for life any more.
