About us

The unit's purpose is to provide armed escorts and protection for members of the Government, visiting royals, heads of state and other visiting dignitaries. It also provides armed vehicle escorts for valuable, hazardous and protected loads and high risk prisoners.

This specialist unit of the Metropolitan Police consists of officers with a range of skills and operational experience from various policing backgrounds. One driver (lead vehicle) positions himself in front of the escort, controlling the precise pace, position, speed and timing of the escort, whilst the others forge ahead, dealing with traffic situations and advising the lead driver of the safest path through the traffic they are controlling. SEG officers in BMWs, Mercedes, and Chryslers.

All SEG officers are Advanced Drivers and are fully trained in anti-hijack driving and firearms tactics. The SEG uses a wide range of vehicles armored and unarmored vehicles.

The officers of the SEG carry Glock 17s, if authorisation is gained all of our qualified members may use H&K MP5s. All of our members are trained, and they have all passed the Authorised Firearms Officer exam.


Roles


Lead Driver

The lead drivers role is to drive at a set pace in front of the VIPs vehicle. This allows us to ensure the pace of the convoy throughout the journey without compromising the VIPs or the public's safety. The lead driver typically drives a similar vehicle to the VIP.

Tail Driver
The tail drivers role is to drive at a set pace behind of the VIPs vehicle. This allows us to ensure the pace of the convoy throughout the journey without compromising the VIPs or the public's safety. The tail driver typically drives a similar vehicle to the VIP.

Runway Driver

The runaway driver or 'Blocker' is the driver tasked with driving ahead of the convoy, scouting and blocking off any risky roads to prevent ramming to the VIPs vehicle. There are usually 2-3 Runaways in the convoy and they typically drive fast cars. BMWs are ideal.


VIP Vehicle Driver

The VIPs vehicle driver role is to do exactly what's on the tin, either driving the VIP in their personal vehicle or driving one of our vehicles to carry the VIP. A suit is usually the recommended attire for the task.
