Armed response vehicles, baton guns and ballistic helmets: Inside the police operation for Trump’s UK visit
While civil servants are preparing to respond to a potential high threat in Windsor, Donald Trump will start a major policing operation for a state visit.
King, US President and wife, First Lady Melania Trump, will meet a ceremony and a state feast at Windsor Castle between Wednesday and Cuma days.
Armed reaction tools (Arvs), Baton weapons and ballistic helmets are among the sources deployed for a 24 -hour policing operation in the town of Berkshire during the event.
Thames Valley police said last week in a media briefing at the Force in Sulhamstead in Berkshire, armed officers with vehicles ready to respond in case of increasing threats would patrol the streets.
Daniel Hatfield, the police sergeant and operational firearms, said, ız We thought of something from a low threat to a threat to a higher threat, and as a result is a very comprehensive security operation. ”
“Each state visit or police operation of this nature comes with its own basis and every operation or plan is built individually.”
Çavuş Hatfield added: “He did not visit the United States President Windsor for the first time, and relations with our American colleagues were good fake, well applied, so he makes planning such a security operation much easier.”
Officers will be able to access a wide range of equipment and weapons, including TASERS, rubber bullets, Glock 17 Sidearms, Lewis machine and team rifles and hunting rifles used in hazardous animals.
In addition, police officers will access overalls, gloves, respiratory devices and ballistic helmets for “chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear” for everything.
“This is something that is not very likely, but if there was a firearm threat as well as CBRN, this is what we will talk about with our weapon system.
Police, equipment in the Arv minibuses, first aid kit and ballistic protection shields, as well as kept, he said.
Next week, the trip will be Mr. Trump’s second state visit to England – an unprecedented gesture to the US president. It had previously emerged in 2019 with a state visit.
The first state visit to the UK saw that thousands of people have emerged in the opposition on the streets in London, and protests are expected to take place next week.
The Stop Trump coalition was held on the first day of the trip to organize a mass show at the center of London and another protest near the Windsor Castle.
