Police Scotland public order approach for COP26

Police Scotland is a rights-based organisation and has a duty to protect the rights of those who wish to peacefully protest and counter-protest, balanced against the rights of the wider community.

Ahead of COP26, our Police Liaison Team has been speaking with groups, supporting their right to peaceful assembly.

Watch Deputy Chief Constable Will Kerr talk about the public order preparations our officers have undergone, and how Police Scotland will facilitate and police protests during COP26.
