Increased police presence and armed officers in central Milton Keynes
Thames Valley Police say there is an increased police presence in the central Milton Keynes area, including armed response officers.
In a post on Facebook, Thames Valley Police acknowledged an increased police presence in the area and reassured the public.
A spokesperson from Thames Valley Police said: “We are aware that seeing an increased Police presence, particularly armed officers, can be concerning for members of the public but we would like to reassure the community that there is no cause for concern and no threat to the wider public.”
“Armed officers are deployed routinely across the Thames Valley and may be used to support a range of Policing operations and response to incidents. Their presence does not necessarily indicate an increased risk to the public.”
Thames Valley Police added that residents and visitors should be reassured that this activity is precautionary and aimed at keeping people safe. MK Citizen will bring further updates if and when they become available.
