Today’s defence news focuses on military support provided to the police through Operation Temperer.
Operation Temperer
Many papers report on Operation Temperer across the UK, noting the support provided to the police by military personnel.
A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said:
Following the bank holiday weekend, military personnel supporting the backfill of armed police will begin to stand down at midnight on Monday. This will see a gradual reduction of military support to regional police forces over a three day period.
Service personnel will remain at readiness to deploy in support of the police should future security situations require.
Almost 1000 Service personnel from all three Services have been deployed, and up to 3,800 additional personnel have been made available.
