More police to be seen in city centre in build up to Christmas

Passengers using public transport in Liverpool City Centre will see an increased police presence over the festive period.

People using Liverpool's public transport in and out of the city centre will see an increased uniformed police presence around rail and bus stations. The increased police presence is part of a joint campaign between Merseyside's police commissioner, Emily Spurrell, and Liverpool City Council called Safer Streets.

The campaign, first launched in 2021 and funded by successful bids to the Home Office, is focused on keeping women safe in the city centre. An "extensive" consultation found safer transport routes and buses were the biggest factor to ensuring women feel safe.
