The top British police officer overlooking the security for the 2012 Olympics expressed that policing for the London 2012 Olympics will not be oppressive and that police, not armed soldiers, will lead the huge operation.
Chris Allison,National Olympics security coordinator says that major part needs to be perform by the military, police will dominate. He suggested that the Royal Navy, for example, may be asked to help in events near the water.
Allison's remarks on Thursday quashed concerns that the police may have to go to the military at a time of wide-ranging cuts in public spending.
He said he is confident police can handle the operation, which spans 34 venues across the capital and requires the participation of 11 police forces around the country.
