# TFU Handbook
# Who We Are & What We Do
Tactical Firearms Unit (TFU) was created, with the mission of crippling the distribution of illegal firearms and commanding large-scale national security threats at locations such as lockup, abandoned outpost and more government-controlled sites. Ever since TFU has been deployed on Altis underground crime networks and their distribution of contraband weapons equipment have been interrupted by TFUs specialist equipment and skill set. TFU members are a select few officers who are selected based on vital TFU skills they possess, creating a team entirely capable when facing the growing organised crime activity Altis is subject to.
