According to these preparations:
Snipers will be deployed on rooftops, in addition to activating air cover technologies and facial recognition. More than 11,000 police will be present, in addition to tactical firearms units, machine guns and pistols, and there will be armed response vehicles on standby. Senior officers plan to use facial recognition technology for the first time to identify suspects who may try to mingle with the gathered crowd. Air cover will be provided by three twin-engine Airbus helicopters from the Metropolitan Police Air Support Unit, supported by aircraft from other forces. Police dogs under the direction of their trainers will perform random checks for explosives.
Threats suffered by the police during the coronation
Queen Elizabeth’s former head of royal protection spoke about potential threats to police at tomorrow’s coronation ceremony.
Speaking to Britain’s Sky News, Dai Davies said he hoped there would be no “security gap” during the event.
Asked about the biggest threats facing the police, he said: ‘I’m afraid to say there’s a new group of threats that weren’t present at the Queen’s funeral, and that’s the protesters , as several groups announced their intention to protest on the day of the coronation.”
He added that the protest banners did not cause him much anxiety, but what worried him were those unknown protests that might be based on conspiracies and plans.
He continued: Historically, a number of royals have been attacked in motorcades specifically like this, so be careful, people are taking the opportunity to make history.
He continued: “The Queen herself was attacked by a 17-year-old boy, but I’m confident lessons have been taught, and indeed my former colleagues are doing their best.”
