"The NATO summit is to be one of the biggest security operations ever seen in the UK. That's according to a leading security consultant. Over 9,500 police officers have been drafted in from 43 different forces. The operation has taken months of preparation with areas forensically searched and secured. A wide range of police expertise is being used to cover the summit including; armed police, the military, sniffer dogs and horses."
