All good practice and learning from Operation Unicorn will be disseminated to commanders and planning teams in the near future, but is already providing the base for planning of other major operations in Scotland. The scope and scale of Operation Unicorn was unprecedented, but it is vitally important that good practice and the basic principles that derive from these points are taken forward into all events and operations, ensuring efficiency, to strengthen effective partnerships and to enable officers and staff to deliver to the best of their ability.
Work is already underway to establish a mass mobilisation plan that can be implemented to allow for the pooling of resources, whilst maintaining business as usual levels of staffing in vital areas. The basic principles of this are being utilised in the planning of the UCI Cycling World Championships.
Effective partnership working, including testing and exercising is being undertaken for Royal Week 2023, with this seeing a number of key partners coming together to scenario test various aspects of plans, and being co-located within police estate during delivery phase.
