UK security and the army

Over the past six months the army has played a visible role in UK security. Operation Temperer saw 5,000 troops deployed on the streets to support the police and security services. During this discussion our panel of experts will discuss the impact of the army’s presence on the streets of the UK. Do they make us feel safer? Was their deployment a panicked response? What else can the army do to protect security at home? Panel: Deborah Haynes, defence editor at The Times Mark Castle, CEO Victim Support Professor Andrew Silke, Head of Criminology, University of East London Chantelle Taylor, Advisor in security and tactical medicine. Ben Wallace MP, Secretary of State for Security
