A senior officer urges protesters to engage with police so Liverpool can deliver a 'respectful' event.
Ch Supt Davies said the policing operation for Eurovision would be "bigger and more complex" than previous events, but Merseyside had "a history of doing mega events"."We know music events on the Pier Head and how they work. We know about mass events.
"The challenge here and the complexities is we're doing all of those at the same time throughout that nine-day period.""There's only 4,000 police officers in the force, so people will be working here a lot," he said. However, he added that despite the challenges ahead, the police plans were in place and the force was "ready to go".
