The chairman of the Dorset Police Federation has laid into Olympic security measures. Clive Chamberlain criticised the set-up as an "Olympic-sized monumental failure." His comments came after 3,500 troops were required to man checkpoints nationwide. As a result, Mr Chamberlain said, officers will make up the shortfall at the Olympic and Paralympic sailing events in Weymouth and Portland. He added: "We are going to have hundreds or thousands of people that are going to need to be properly vetted — that comes down to the police."
