We are running a series of events across the UK to promote violence reduction measures within the night-time economy. Our first one is on the 25th of April in Ipswich.
We want to bring together private security operatives and businesses to discuss local initiatives, safe restraint guidance and good practice to prevent harm to security operatives and the public. The aim of these events are:
- Share good practice of successful multi-agency violence reduction initiatives/approaches
- Develop a shared understanding that violence reduction includes reducing violence against licensed operatives and so improve the reporting of incidents
- Raise standards of safe restraint by introducing new guidance material for security operatives
- Share best practice for measuring the success of violence reduction initiatives
At each event we will hear from representatives of the Police, local authorities and town centre initiatives.
The briefings are FREE to attend and will take place at the following locations:
Ipswich – 25 April 2017
Location: Suffolk Constabulary Police Headquarters
