Police motorbikes escorted Trump’s presidential motorcade to Turnberry

More than 7,000 police officers were deployed across Scotland for Donald Trump’s private four-day visit, Police Scotland have confirmed.

Four arrests were made as part of the security operation for the US president, including one on an Easyjet flight from Luton to Glasgow.

The total deployment included 6,144 Police Scotland officers and another 1,197 drafted in from forces in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

President Trump landed at Prestwick Airport last Friday and spent the weekend at his Turnberry golf resort in Ayrshire, before travelling to Aberdeenshire to open a new golf course.

Police Scotland Assistant Chief Constable Emma Bond said it was too early to put a definitive price on the operation, but added that it would be a “significant amount of money”.

She said discussions with the Scottish and UK governments over costs were ongoing.

During Trump’s state visit to the UK in June 2019, more than 6,300 police officers were deployed at a cost to London’s Metropolitan Police of £3.4m.

A previous four-day working visit in London and Scotland in 2018 cost more than £14.2m.

The 2018 trip is thought to have seen more than 5,000 officers deployed in Scotland, with the UK Treasury providing £5m to cover costs.

ACC Bond said the latest operation had been proportionate and officers were prepared for “every eventuality”.

She said: “This is one of the largest operations that we have planned in the history of Police Scotland.

“I believe we have delivered a really effective operation whilst at the same time being able to continue delivering services to communities across Scotland.”

The arrests saw Abhay Nayak, 41, from Luton appear at Paisley Sheriff Court on Monday charged with assault and endangering the safety of an aircraft.

The other arrests were in relation to protests around the country.

A 25-year-old man was arrested accused of acting in a threatening or abusive behaviour in Balmedie, Aberdeenshire.

A 65-year-old woman was also arrested at Balmedie accused of threatening behaviour. She was cautioned and reported to the Procurator Fiscal.

In Prestwick, Ayshire, a 25-year-old man was arrested on Friday and issued with a Recorded Police Warning (RPW).

A 50-year-old woman was also issued with an RPW near to the American Consulate in Edinburgh on Sunday.

In total, the operation saw 20,748 police deployments, including local, national and specialist officers.

Officers were spotted on horses, motorbikes, quadbikes and boats.

Catering staff handed out around 45,000 meals to police officers, police staff and partners across the four days.
