Policing in England and Wales could be at "significant" risk if resources are diverted to fight terrorism, the UK's top counter-terrorism officer has said.
Counter-terrorism policing has been placed on an "emergency footing" after recent attacks, BBC Home Affairs Correspondent Danny Shaw understands.
Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley has asked ministers to reassure officers that funding will not be diverted from mainstream policing as a result.
The Home Office said counter-terrorism funding would increase by 30% by 2022.
Devon and Cornwall Police said earlier this week that there was "no specific intelligence to suggest any threat to our force area". However local senior officers also said that the UK threat level "remains at severe which means an attack is highly likely".
Locally, armed officers have been on more visible patrols after the recent terror attacks in Manchester, and London.
Police have also been "providing reassurance by visiting mosques, Islamic Centres and other locations" after the Finsbury Park terror attack in London which saw a man drive a van into Muslim worshippers.

Firefighters were at the scene overnight. However, by 07:00 this morning, only two appliances were still on the scene, monitoring the area for hotspots and damping down, Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service said.

A major refurbishment of Newlyn Fish Market will see it fully refrigerated, those behind the proposals say.
The £1.3m revamp of the market has been given the go-ahead in what is to be the first phase of plans to redevelop the harbour area.
Those behind the proposals said they hoped the work would begin within the next couple of months and finish next year.
As well as being refrigerated, the market will also eventually open up to online auctions, which should mean fishermen get a better price for their catch, managers said.
