The police firearms unit are all volunteers, they can't be disciplined if they say they want to go back to ordinary police duties.
The unfortunate thing is that they are responsible for guarding foreign embassies most of which are in London, if security is withdrawn then other countries will be justified in withdrawing security for British embassies worldwide.
A great deal of British embassies will be very insecure and there would be no one to stop anyone invading and destroying them.
The firearms unit has the government over a barrel and always has done, protecting other counties embassies is required by ages old international treaties, there would be hell to pay if Roland Rat the PM stopped recognising these treaties.
