Understanding Technical Support Units (TSUs) in Policing

A Technical Support Unit (TSU) in policing is dedicated to supporting law enforcement investigations with advanced technical capabilities. According to the Thames Valley Police, “TSUs provide essential technical support to front line policing. This includes the deployment of covert surveillance equipment, audio devices, and video recording tools to gather crucial evidence in various investigations.”

These units are instrumental in tackling complex cases that require a high level of technical proficiency. By employing sophisticated surveillance equipment, TSUs can discreetly monitor and collect evidence that is critical for successful prosecutions and safeguarding public safety.
