<p>Police were given extra stop and search powers for the duration of the carnival via a section 60 order.</p>
<p>Commander Dave Musker, the Met’s lead officer for Notting Hill Carnival 2019, said: <em>“Although I am happy with the smooth running of the festivities, I am, once again, extremely disappointed that a number of people feel that they can assault my officers who are working in very difficult circumstances to try and protect everyone in attendance.</em></p>
<p><em>“Officers put themselves on the frontline and should, under no circumstance be assaulted for protecting the public. We will adopt a zero tolerance approach to any assault on police officers.”</em></p>
<p><em>Assistant chief constable Robin Smith said revellers could expect to see a “high visibility presence” of officers into the early hours of Tuesday as the carnival concluded.”</em></p>
