Special forces and regular soldiers are on standby after a revolt by armed police.
The army could be drafted in to cover for a contingent of Met armed officers who handed back their guns after a colleague was charged with the murder of rapper Chris Kaba.
The force's commissioner Sir Mark Rowley welcomed a review into the situation, which Home Secretary Suella Braverman said she had ordered to ensure armed officers "have the confidence to do their job".The Scotland Yard chief said armed officers needed "sufficient legal protection to enable them to do their job".
The Prime Minister, speaking to broadcasters during a visit to a community centre in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, on Monday, said: "Our firearms officers do an incredibly difficult job. He also put forward the introduction of a criminal standard of proof for unlawful killing in inquests and inquiries, along with changes to the threshold at which the Independent Office for Police Conduct can launch an investigation.
He also suggested that more contextual information about incidents could be released "to ensure public confidence in policing".
