Trump LIVE: Protests in Windsor as US President arrives today for UK state visit | UK | News

Officers deployed for Trump’s state visit will have access to a wide range of equipment and weapons, including tasers, Glock 17 sidearms, rifles and shotguns.

They will also have access to overalls, gloves, respirators and ballistic helmets “for anything that is CBRN-related – chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear,” police sergeant and operational firearms commander Daniel Hatfield said.

“That is something which hopefully is very unlikely to happen, but if there was ever to be a firearms threat as well as CBRN, this is what we would deploy with our weapons system,” Sergeant Hatfield added.

The equipment will be kept in ARV vans, alongside a first-aid kit and ballistic protection shields.

Drones, horses, dogs and marine units are also in use both before and during the visit, with patrols on the River Thames, water and riverbank searches around Windsor and airspace restrictions in place around Windsor and Chequers.
