Police forces have already mobilised 4,000 trained public order officers to deal with the violence and disorder sweeping Britain.
But with the unrest showing no sign of abating, police leaders have boosted the numbers by an extra 2,200 officers. They will be on standby across the country and can be mobilised to support colleagues locally and regionally.
