Police Scotland is doubling the number of its officers trained to handle disorder as it gears up for this year’s world climate summit in Glasgow. The national force a year and a quarter ago had around 1100 men and women with the skills to deal with mass protests or disturbances. Last night it confirmed that figure had now risen to 2100 with another hundred officers to undergo training in coming weeks. Police chiefs are not predicting trouble - they are preparing for what their planners refer to as “reasonable worst-case scenarios”. The COP-26 meeting will take place on the Clyde in November and will generate huge media and political interest - with the prospect of demonstrations.
