A PIONEERING scheme aimed at clamping down on drink-fuelled nuisance in pubs has been declared a massive success by police. Just over a year ago, landlords in Clitheroe


were issued with hand-held radios by Clitheroe Police in a bid to tackle drunken revellers


intent on making other people’s lives a misery. As part of the already successful Clitheroe


Pub Watch - the revolutionary scheme aimed at cracking down on drink-related crime - offi­ cers issued door and bar staff in the town’s hostelries with the two-way radios, which are

directly linked to a CCTV monitoring office. The office is manned 24-hours-a-day and


means that any sign of trouble in pubs is picked up'by the police and patrols are directed towards the premises in a matter of minutes. Twelve months after the radio initiative was


launched, police say licensees have been calling last orders on drunken troublemakers. p e s o David Reid, of Clitheroe Police, has


been monitoring the success of the scheme over the past sue months. He said: “The radios have proved extremely successful with the town centre landlords and traders. So much so, that 19 town cen­ tre premises now own one. “Since July, there have been 30 reported

incidents of drink-related problems in pubs that have been signalled through to the CCTV office and police have been able to take immediate action because of the radio scheme. “If a difficult situation arises in or


around the licensed premises and the door staff are in possession of a radio, it enables them to remain in control and stay safe by providing a direct link with the CCTV monitoring office and the police. “The initiative is a positive way for the


police and community to work together.” Anyone requiring further information or


wanting to purchase a radio, which costs around £200, is asked to contact PCSO David Reid on 01200 458734.

large, rural area like the Ribble Val­ ley is something that he is looking forward to as the experienced officer has previously worked in higher crime areas like Burnley and Black­ burn. Sgt Marshall joined Lancashire


Constabulary in 1990, having spent the previous three years as a dog handler in the Royal Air Force Police. In 1992 he moved to the Great

'v Stand out in the dark


A CAMPAIGN to ensure children wear bright clothing and are safe and seen when out and about during the dark winter nights has been launched in the Ribble Valley. Police Community Sup­


port Officers (PCSOs) and Community Beat Managers from Clitheroe Police visited local schools promoting the “Be Safe Be Seen” message. The annual winter cam­


paign urges parents to make sure their children are wear­ ing bright, fluorescent or reflective clothing when using the roads at night or in condi­ tions of limited visibility so they can be seen by motorists. PCSO David Reid said:


“As the long winter nights continue, it is important that children who are using the roads are clearly visible to motorists.”
