Doormen due at seminar on night safety
Door staff from pubs and clubs in Northampton town centre will be attending a seminar next week looking at night safety in the town.
The aim of the session, set to be held next Tuesday, October 23, is for door staff to have a chance to talk about Nightsafe issues, including violent crime in the town centre. They will have the opportunity to meet the police and air any issues they have.
Northampton's Pubwatch organisers contacted all town centre pubs and clubs that have door supervisors to invite them to the event. More than 60 door staff are expected to attend.
Community Safety Sergeant Mark Worthington said: "We will be talking about current issues affecting Northampton's night-time economy. We will also be presenting our expectations in relation to door supervision."
The seminar will consist of a short presentation followed by questions to a panel of police and a representative from the Security Industry Authority (SIA).
Pc Dave Bryan, licensing officer for Northamptonshire West, said: "I hope the outcome will be a better understanding of each others' roles and difficulties in performing those roles. It is all about reaching the same goal of reducing town centre violence."
Nightsafe was launched by Northamptonshire Police and the county Police Authority in 2005 and involves a partnership approach to target and reduce alcohol-related crime and disorder.
