Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe wants to double the number of armed officers in London in the wake of the Paris terror attacks.
He has said he expects to have to slash 5,000 officers from his 32,000-strong force to cope with austerity cuts likely to total £800 million over four years following Chancellor George Osborne's spending review later this month.
Sir Bernard moved to reassure Londoners the number of firearms officers in the capital is being reviewed following the massacres across Paris in which 129 people were killed.
He said London was proud to be one of few mostly unarmed forces around the world; however, the Paris attacks showed the need for change.
