<p>Officials have been working closely with the FCDO and UK policing colleagues as
well as our partners across the British Overseas Territories to identify police requirements
and support. While there have been and are instances of deploying UK officers (see
Annex A), all considerations are dealt with on a case-by-case basis. When UK police
officers are not available or not the most appropriate response, retired officers
have been contracted into operational or support roles. In addition, UK officers regularly
deploy in a training capacity as part of a wider and longer-term HO Overseas Territories
