We shadowed a team of officers during a night out
A new strategy for policing Nottingham's city centre hotspots has been launched to ensure people's safety on a night out. Nottinghamshire Live reporter Olimpia Zagnat has shadowed officers on their patrols across the city centre as dozens were seen perusing the busy street on a vibrant night out.
"It is not the crime itself, it is the perception of it - and this model is actually coming from Chicago. Based on the intelligence we receive, we identify the hotspots and we have police there to prevent incidents." Of these, three units have been assigned two hotspot locations each, alternating between them and ensuring six hotspots are covered in total. During periods of no disorder, officers enter venues to build rapport with staff and to check licensing conditions are being adhered to.
We shadowed Superintendent Craner and Lord Vernon Coaker as they descended from Central Police Station on Maid Marian Way to the Old Market Square. Some of the hotspots covered by officers in the city centre were Angel Row, Long Row, St James's Street and Clumber Street. Lord Coaker added: "Students are absolutely brilliant and they bring so much to the city. It is great that these measures are in place to make sure they can enjoy a night out and be safe."
