Police have announced that specially-trained officers will be on hand to support local divisions across Edinburgh and the Lothians on Bonfire Night.
The move comes following widespread damage and violence in past years, including one incident in which an officer was injured after a firework struck her.
In the past, a mob of 50 also took part in a three-hour long rampage, setting cars on fire and forcing a police convoy to flee the scene.
This led to a full range of riot equipment and set up strict dispersal zones set up last year to prevent Bonfire Night getting out of hand.
Despite "significantly lower levels of disorder" last year, a number of measures are being implemented again this year as part of Operation Moonbeam, including seven dispersal zones.
Police are also urging parents to highlighting the dangers of fireworks with their kids.
Assistant Chief Constable Kenny MacDonald said: "We know that the Halloween and Bonfire Night weekend is one of the busiest in the calendar, not only for police, but all emergency services, and Operation Moonbeam was launched to provide an appropriate response to any disorder that occurs and ensure our communities, officers and partners remain safe.
"However, dedicating greater police resource during this weekend does not solve the issues we see arising each year, and we are mindful of that.
"Operation Moonbeam 2019 will be a tri-service collaborative approach to not only responding to disorder and damage, but preventing it in the first instance."
