Strategic Firearms Command (Lower Mainland Constabulary)

The Strategic Firearms Command (SFC) is an eight-squad command within the Strategic Counterterrorism Division of the Lower Mainland Constabulary's Counterterrorism Directorate. It functions as the primary heavily-armed response team for the constabulary, analogous to the SWAT teams used by American law enforcement agencies.

The SFC is led by the Strategic Firearms Commander, a ranking superintendent with unparalleled firearms and violent situation resolution experience. The position of Strategic Firearms Commander is not to be confused with the term "Tactical Firearms Commander" (TFC), a generic position applicable to ranking inspectors or higher on the scene of firearms response not involving the SFC, who are charged with all realtime decisionmaking regarding the use of firearms by constables under their command.
