Met Police are being helped by 3000 officers from around the country in UK's biggest ever security operation
Met Police chiefs says the operation surpasses the operation for the Platinum Jubilee weekend and the London 2012 Olympics, which saw up to 10,000 police officers on duty per day.
Police and security services will be alert to the prospect of knife attacks, bombs being detonated, and all other possible terror threats or incidents. Richard Aitch, director of operations for firm Mobius International, said it becomes “very difficult” for personal protection officers when the monarch is so close to a “group of unknowns” like crowds and they will be carrying out a split second process of “personal vetting” to root out suspicious activity.
But he added: “Part of being a policeman, part of the training, is understanding people, understanding mannerisms. So they are accustomed to that role.”
