Although the military could be used in The Event of a terror attack, The Met stressed " armed forces personnel will not be used in a routine policing capacity".
New Scotland Yard said measures will be kept under review but added that since Saturday evening extra officers have been called in from neighbouring police forces.
'Shift in The Way decisions are judged'Senior officers remain in " ongoing discussions" to support staff, The Met said, adding that bosses want to " fully understand" concerns over The Crown Prosecution Service's decision to charge NX121.
" Many are worried about how the decision impacts on them, on their colleagues and on their families, " according to The Met statement.
" They are concerned that it signals a shift in The Way the decisions they take in The Most challenging circumstances will be judged.

But, one former Officer - who left The Met 's specialist firearms command a few months Ago - Told BBC Radio 4 's Today Programme that The Risk to officers and their families " is just too great".
Speaking anonymously, he argued that This Was not a co-ordinated protest.
" What is obvious to me, they are not Acting Out Of Anger or petulance" The Ex Officer said.
" These are individuals with partners and families who are incredibly committed to their profession.
" They're incredibly concerned it's not Worth It anymore. "
He added that it would be " a very sad day" for policing if armed troops were being forced to step in to help.
Commenting on Suella Braverman 's review, Sir Mark Rowley suggested firearms officers are concerned that they will face years of legal proceedings, " even if they stick to the tactics and training they have been given".
" Officers need sufficient legal protection to enable them to do their job and keep The Public safe, and the confidence that it will be applied consistently and without fear or favour, " Sir Mark wrote in a letter to the home secretary.
But, he argued when officers act improperly, The System " needs to move swiftly".
