Merseyside Police beef up force for Liverpool vs Man City and brace for 'serious offences'


“We are working to ensure this game can be enjoyed safely by all. We will have officers on duty at the ground and the surrounding area, both uniformed and plain clothed, supported by CCTV, the Dog Section, mounted police and other specialist resources.

“Our policing style will be firm, fair and friendly, but officers will not tolerate any tragedy chanting, which became an offence under legislation last year, the throwing of missiles or the use of pyrotechnics inside or outside of the stadium. The police and courts take these offences extremely seriously, and prosecution can result in a prison sentence.”
