The Violence Suppression Unit (VSU) is a Frontline Policing Directorate, formerly known as Territorial Policing, unit of London's Metropolitan Police Service (MPS). Its role is to combat street crime, violence and knife offences as well as track down high harm fugitives. The VSU was constructed in 2020 to amalgamate the previous proactive and Borough Crime Squads under one umbrella. Officers attached to the VSU tend to be experienced officers who are trained in police driving, public order and both the covert and overt carriage of taser.
