Armed police to be deployed for Brighton Pride

Police are deploying facial recognition vans to help capture criminals while ensuring public privacy is safeguarded. Additionally, Sussex Police will deploy armed officers for Brighton Pride to ensure safety remains the top priority. This decision follows a previous attack on a Pride event in Berlin. Both measures aim to enhance security and law enforcement capabilities during public gatherings and general policing operations, balancing the need for criminal apprehension with the necessity of protecting the general public.
