flag Police Scotland faces rising protest challenges, with 57 gang-related arrests and increased crowd management demands.

flag Police Scotland’s chief constable, Jo Farrell, told the Scottish Police Authority that the force faces a complex and challenging environment due to a rise in weekly protests, including anti-immigration and pro-Palestinian demonstrations. flag While most events remain peaceful, increasing attendance and coordination among some groups have made crowd management difficult, especially at locations like the Cladhan Hotel in Falkirk. flag Protests linked to the UK’s designation of Palestine Action as a terrorist group have led to arrests. flag Farrell emphasized proportionate policing under a national command structure, with ongoing communication and engagement. flag The report also noted 57 arrests in Operation Portaledge, a major investigation into gang-related violence across Scotland.
