Three men have been sentenced for their part in disorder in Whitehall on Wednesday, 31 July.
Detectives have also charged a further 12 people, bringing the total number charged with offences committed on that night to 38.
Commander Lou Puddefoot said: “The officers on duty in Whitehall that evening were operating in really challenging circumstances and faced unacceptable aggression and abuse.
“As is often the case with large scale public order incidents such as this, so much of the work takes place in the days and weeks that follow.
“I want to thank the officers who have spent the past two weeks reviewing many hours of CCTV, phone and bodycam footage to build the cases that are being put before the courts.
“While we welcome the restoration of calm in London and across the country, we are not being complacent. We continue to stand ready to respond to any outbreak of disorder and to deal decisively with any offences.”
