Police Scotland have launched their city centre operation for Stirling, aimed at keeping shoppers, revellers and locals safe over Christmas and New Year.
Operation Steadfast is a dedicated foot patrol operation focussing mostly on the city centre over the festive period and running from December 1 until January 8.
The focus - public safety and a dedicated presence during this busy time - is designed to provide reassurance to members of the public and businesses, whilst also providing an opportunity for increased community engagement.
