Exclusion Scheme
Exclusion notice schemes are an effective means of managing offenders and ensuring that they are deterred from committing crime.
We will provide a window sticker advertising your commitment and inclusion in the scheme and notes for your information and guidance.
The scheme operates by utilising the business community as one voice. We are sending strong messages to persistent thieves and troublemakers that we have:
-
A collective approach in dealing with persistent and prolific thieves and troublemakers
-
Exclude offenders from the member shops, pubs, clubs, restaurants and businesses.
-
Protects staff from acts or the threat of physical violence and verbal abuse.
-
Reduces the fear of crime in members’ premises, for the benefit of staff, customers and the public.
-
Frees up resources otherwise spent observing and apprehending repeat offenders.
-
Encourages greater economic investment by creating and promoting a safer place to invest and work.
Meetings are held every month to discuss:
- Problems and concerns
- Update the members on progress
- To decide on the length of the exclusion that recent offenders in the town centres are going to receive.
