Answer
It is the duty of any responsible Government to prepare for every eventuality including the scenario that we leave the EU without agreeing a deal.
With that in mind, we are working closely with operational partners - including the police - on contingency planning so we can ensure the safety and security of our citizens in all scenarios.
Police Forces are working closely with partner agencies in local areas. Decisions on the deployment of police resources are matters for individual Chief Officers.
