A spokesperson for police in Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon outlined how a ‘method of entry’ equipment is available to members of the Tactical Support Group.
“Method of entry kit, like the enforcer, enables officers when absolutely necessary to enter a property by force.

The Tactical Support Group known as The Emeralds, along with colleagues in the local policing team and members of the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service, forced entry to a property this morning after concerns were raised that an oocupant had sustained a head injury.
“On officers entering, they located the occupier who had fallen asleep and on them being woken was confused, dazed and had indeed serious injuries to his head.
“Only for the swift actions of local police, Ambulance Service and The Emeralds, the outcome may have been very different,” the PSNI spokesperson added.
