Challenges

These issues presented several challenges, including:

Anti-social behaviour from members of the local community

Key elements of our approach included:

Face-to-face planning meetings with venue operators and licensees before deployment
Careful officer screening and selection to ensure the right personnel were assigned to each venue
Clear security protocols and reporting systems
Consistent officer deployment to build familiarity and authority on site

Understanding the operational risks and community dynamics allowed us to place experienced officers who could confidently manage challenging situations while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere.
