CNC AFOs are required to deploy on foot and in vehicles with a range of weapon systems whilst conducting a whole range of activities at operational units spread across the country. AFOs work shifts spread across the 24 hour day the whole year through in all kinds of weather and terrain.

The CNC requires a quality, versatile, trans-seasonal, 3-in-1 tactical jacket, designed to be worn by operational authorised firearms officers (AFOs).

The manufacturer/supplier is to provide details of how the garment has been tested to determine its properties (e.g. waterproofing/thermal properties/breathability/durability).
