SURVEILLANCE WORKSHOP

 

10th July 2008

‘SCOOT’, the Stamp Crime Out Of Town partnership, are presenting their next Traders Workshop on Tuesday 29th July at Crewe Police Station. Information will concentrate on Radio technique, CCTV camera locations, town centre coverage and cameras shortly to come ‘on stream’.

The team will be joined by PC Mark Cotton - Crime Reduction Advisor, CCTV Controllers and Operators, who will all be conveying details about this important area of their work which helps to deter crime in the town centre areas.

Ralph Lewis Commercial Crime Manager said, “The workshop will give real scenarios for traders to trial, helping them to build up confidence in the use of their Radio and gain maximum advantage from the technology available.”

The “Stamp Crime Out” workshops are intended to cover any areas of interest to traders, all of which will lead to initiatives to make the town centres a pleasanter place to shop, heightening crime awareness and increase opportunities through trader liaison and networking. 

Councillor John Dwyer, Portfolio Holder for Safer Communities added,

“SCOOT is a productive team effort bringing together all the positive aspects offered by the varied partners to reduce criminal activity and provide crime prevention.”

Should you wish to receive any details about the workshops please contact Elaine Dodd, Crewe and Nantwich Town Centres Manager on tel 01270 537559.  All the traders who attend these presentations receive a binder, containing all the workshop information for those presented during the year.  So, even those new to the scheme can easily catch-up on the information presented, which then can be utlaised for in-store training and valuable business contacts.
