The Safer Leicester Partnership is working to make the city centre safer at night. Police and licensing staff at the city council work with licensees to ensure venues are run properly and responsibly and they are able to address any issues that arise quickly.The Best Bar None scheme is used to promote these aims and advise the public of where to go for a safe night out.

Crime prevention is at the heart of this work and the police have a visible presence during the night to reduce the possibilities of alcohol-related crime and disorder.  A dedicated police officer works with ambulance service staff to respond quickly to any injuries that might occur during the night. City wardens offer a reassuring presence and street pastors are available to support anyone in need of emotional support.

This is part of the Safer Leicester Partnership's campaign to help make a night out in Leicester safer and enjoyable and open to all:

• Improved Lighting and CCTV across the city centre

• Street pastors work on Fridays and Saturday nights in the city centre to assist anyone who needs help.  As a faith based voluntary organisation they work late into the night to help the night go smoothly.

• Best Bar None is a scheme to ensure our city is a safe and enjoyable place to be, it promotes responsible management of licensed premises and gives awards to those showing best practice.

• Pubwatch works in the city to achieve safe, secure and responsibly led social drinking environments in all licensed premises in Leicester and helps to reduce alcohol-related crime.

• POLAMB initiative - fast response vehicle with police and ambulance service to assess any people injured in city night-time economy
   

We want a safe and attractive city centre with a diverse night time economy, accessible to all while protecting the quality of life for residents.

 The posters are now on display across the city centre.
