SCOTLAND, JUL 19 – Police Scotland plans to deploy around 5,000 officers amid staff shortages and legal disputes over workload during Donald Trump’s four-day private visit to his Scottish golf courses.
- Within a day, Campaigners from the Stop Trump Coalition raised £10,000 to plaster Britain with embarrassing Trump posters just before his visit to Scotland.
- Between July 25 and 29, President Trump will tour Turnberry and Menie in Aberdeenshire, meeting First Minister John Swinney, according to the Scottish Government.
- Faced with staff shortages, Police Scotland will deploy 5,000 officers, representing nearly a third of the 16,500 headcount, causing extended shifts and cancelled rest days.
- The Scottish Police Federation warned, `It's a recipe for disaster,` while David Kennedy sought legal advice over breaches of workforce agreements.
- Financially, the 2018 visit cost over £18 million and sparked cost-sharing disputes, compared with the projected £5 million for this trip.
