In response to concerns that have been raised over the quality of one location being used to house officers on reserve for the forthcoming Presidential visit, the following statement has been issued.

Police forces are working together on a significant, multi-faceted security operation supporting the Presidential visit to the UK.

A minority of celebrations resulted in significant disorder following England’s match on Saturday 7 July, leading to criminal damage, blocked roads and anti-social behaviour.

The key advice is:

Run- to a place of safety. This is better than trying to surrender or negotiate.

Hide- it is better to hide than confront. Barricade yourself in, turn phones to silent and use only when it is safe to do so.

Tell - Make sure you know the local emergency numbers in the country you're travelling to. For all EU countries it's 112.

UK forces are currently planning a major national policing operation to support the forthcoming visit of US President Donald Trump.

As England progress further in the World Cup, the behaviour of travelling fans remains excellent. However, the fans at home in the UK are letting the side down.

UK police have been planning for the World Cup for the past two years, working closely with partners and the Russian police to deliver a safe and successful event.

The Association of Police and Crime Commissioners and the National Police Chiefs’ Council have submitted a joint response to a Government consultation on unauthorised encampments calling for the shortage of transit sites and lack of accommodation provision to be addressed.

In response to questions about the ‘away from home allowance’ and how it will work for upcoming mutual aid operations, the Strategic Lead of NPoCC ACC Chris Shead has said:

With the final England group game only a few days away, the national police lead for football policing, thanks fans for their behaviour so far.
