Cabinet Office minister Nick Thomas-Symonds has revealed that the government are on “high-readiness” over further planned protests this weekend.
Over 400 arrests have been made in recent days, following riots across the likes of Hull, Rotherham, Southampton, and Blackpool.
6,000 specially-trained riot officers are expected to be on the streets to deal with any incidents.
There are around 40 counter-protests due on Saturday, according to the Stand Up to Racism group.
NPCC chair Gavin Stephens said the country is not being “complacent” despite two nights of peace.
