The force's effort to curb such incidents, dubbed Operation Moonbeam 2025, will see specialist public order officers join local policing divisions across Scotland.

Police Scotland says the same time last year saw a reduction in the number of serious incidents and one officer was injured, compared with 62 in 2023.
