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 comes as randomised patrols are now being complimented by a more targeted approach - with hotspot areas now seeing a higher police presence on Friday and Saturday nights. As many as 15 officers, joined by two sergeants and an inspector, have descended from the Byron House on the first night of their newly-launched approach.
This was phase two of the Operation Castle. The officers were briefed by city centre Neighbourhood Inspector John Lees, who has shared the intelligence picture for the night, announcing that there was a 'low risk level' for anti-social behaviour and crime.
