Bonfire Night policing in Scotland will be 'largest operation since Trump visit'
Police Scotland are preparing for a large-scale operation on Bonfire Night
Scotland's biggest police operation since the visit of President Donald Trump last year is to take place on Bonfire Night, in the face of a "unique" combination of safety concerns.
As many as 1,700 officers could be deployed on and around 5 November to deal with fireworks-related disorder, a European football match involving Celtic and potential protests in Glasgow.
Additional public order vehicles and drivers are being brought in from 18 English and Welsh police forces under mutual aid arrangements.
Police Scotland says the plan, titled Operation Amberlight, is intended to ensure the safety of the public and emergency services.
The force has already vowed that anyone caught up in disorder around Halloween and Bonfire Night will face "very real consequences".
This will be enforced through Fireworks Control Zones (FCZs), which ban the use of pyrotechnics in certain areas of Edinburgh and Glasgow from 30 October.
In recent years, emergency crews have been pelted with petrol bombs and missiles - though police said there were fewer instances of this last year.
The deployment will beef up Operation Moonbeam, the annual police response to fireworks-linked criminality which is now in its ninth year.
Moonbeam involves local police divisions receiving additional specialist support in case trouble breaks out on their patch.
