BRITAIN – For the World Cup in Qatar, which begins on November 20, British police will be represented by association officers to oversee the good behaviour of the England and Wales fans during the championships.
According to police commissioner Mark Roberts, a group of 15 officers with training in dealing with the public will be in Qatar to act as a liaison between England and Wales supporters and the local police.
However, Roberts made it clear that the link elements will only focus on the fans who “started drawing a little” and not to tell individuals if they have exceeded Borders in alcohol. The association officers will be present with the fans if they feel that “there is a threat that they may exceed the limits in the behaviour.”
It is expected that he will travel between three and four thousand English fans to Qatar to support the national team in the group stage, provided that the number will rise if the “Three Lions” qualify for the second group that includes Wales, the United States and Iran.
It is also probable that roughly 3,000 Welze fans will travel to support the national team, which, like its English neighbour, will also have the backing of its residents who live in the area.
“This World Cup is taking place in a foreign country with a very different culture, and one of my concerns is that fans who don’t want to cause trouble or abuse can unintentionally behave badly for attention or hospitality,” Roberts told reporters.
He continued, “There may be wrong perceptions by the Qatari police or the Turkish police supporting them, or any of the other devices, regarding what the fans do,” explaining, “Just because people are noisy, or jump and sing in a different language, it does not mean that they are aggressive. ”
Fans won’t be able to purchase drink and spend today in Qatar’s public squares, unlike other major sporting events.
Alcohol syphon was limited to “under control” locations around the stadiums, in the vicinity of the spectators, and at specific times. Roberts informed the supporters that they would not be permitted to rejoice by taking off their shirts.
He stated that the association officers will be on the ground working as observers to collect information and provide it to Qatari police leaders and act as community officers in order to secure the necessary assistance to the fans.
When questioned about whether these policemen qualify as a “The short answer is no, Roberts answered, calling them “moral police”. We are not required to determine if what they do is right, wrong, or irrelevant.”
He continued, “We just want to take care of the fans and the last thing we want is that a person who does not know that he is causing the same in a position is for him to deal with a foreign police forces. ” Let’s tell everyone: Hey, things are getting a little attention; you need to settle down.
We don’t want you to face with any unconventional police tactics.
