The police Precision Drill Team has prepared a new display for this weekend's military tattoo.

The team has achieved a reputation for the skill and precision shown in its displays, where complicated moves are performed like clockwork, accompanied only by the sharp sound of rifles hitting the ground, the slap of hands on the polished wood and gestures by the policemen themselves.

The high standards are achieved in hours of training, even though the policemen still have to see to all their other duties as ordinary policemen.

Inspector Stephen Mallia explains as his team trains.
