Briefly

Donald Trump's private visit to Scotland triggers the redeployment of 1,500 police officers, disrupting regular policing duties. The last-minute request was made for security during his five-day stay at golf resorts. Concerns arise regarding the cost and the need for officers to cancel rest days and work extra hours. Police Federation chair Tiff Lynch criticized the situation, stating that this visit diverts resources from everyday policing. The Association of Scottish Police Superintendents also raised alarms about the strain on police resources due to this visit.
The last minute request for police support was only received last week, leading to the redeployment of 1,500 police officers for Donald Trump's private visit to his golf resorts in Scotland.
Tiff Lynch, national chair of the Police Federation, emphasized that pulling 1,500 officers from their regular duties to support a private visit raises concerns about resource allocation.
The redeployment of officers during Trump's five-day visit has caused mayhem among police chiefs, as it strains police resources and raises operational costs.
The Association of Scottish Police Superintendents has warned that Donald Trump's visit will stretch police resources, highlighting the impact of such high-profile private trips on security personnel.
