Update on Arrests made during Coronation

64 arrests were made on Saturday 6 May.

52 related to concerns people were going to disrupt the event, and arrests included to prevent a breach of the peace and conspiracy to cause a public nuisance.

Thread🔽

news.met.police.uk/news/update-ar… Ahead of the Coronation, a significant police operation was launched after we received information protestors were determined to disrupt the Coronation procession.

Our activity was targeted at those we believed were intent on taking this action.

🧵🔽

We are proud to support the #Coronation of His Majesty The King & Her Majesty The Queen Consort as the world watches London host these historic moments.

It's our privilege to play a role in enabling Londoners and visitors to enjoy this moment of national significance.

🧵🔽 Operation Golden Orb is one of the most significant and largest security operations the Met has led.

On Coronation Day we will have the largest one day mobilisation of officers seen in decades with over 11,500 officers on duty.

29,000+ deployments during the operation.

🧵🔽

Baroness Casey’s interim report finds Met’s misconduct system is failing Londoners and police.

Cases are taking too long to resolve; allegations are more likely to be dismissed than acted upon and there is racial disparity across the system.

⬇ Thread Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley: I am appalled by the extent of the findings.

Integrity is the foundation of policing.

We will urgently confront the culture, systems and leadership that have let down the public and our officers and staff.

🚨📺💣 | Tonight our Head of ‘EXPO’ Matt will be sharing his thoughts on @ITV #TriggerPoint.

Matt’s offering a rare, personal insight in to how this unique unit really operates. @ITV Evening, I'm Matt and I'm head of the Met's EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) Unit and Senior EXPO.

The EOD unit sits within the Counter Terrorism Command (SO15) and we have a mix of civilian and police officers on the team.

Officers have tonight responded to reports of an unlicensed music event in #HammersmithandFulham.

Specially trained public order offences attended after police were met with hostility from attendees.

Seven officers have sustained injuries.

news.met.police.uk/news/unlicense… DAC Laurence Taylor said: "“Officers have responded to residents complaining about a large gathering, noise, anti-social behaviour and violence.

“These gatherings are illegal and also pose a risk to public health."
