TSOP & Fast Rope in action   Helicopter Special Operations In the past, most law enforcement agencies transported and deployed their tactical teams by having them stand on the helicopter skids and grab handholds mounted to the side of the airframe. This can be rather precarious and awkward. The TSOP makes transporting & deploying personnel much safer. LAPD in-action. Photo: Glenn Grossman As one can see, the TSOP provides assault team members with a stable and safe platform. It also provides them with a tactical advantage when dealing with high-stress missions. The team can focus on the mission and potential threats rather than be preoccupied with standing on the skids and hanging onto the helicopter. Sniper P.O.V.
