ZERO TOLERANCE
Anyone visiting Ipswich who is behaving in a disorderly fashion
who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol will be
arrested.
This campaign is designed to make the night time safer for
people who want top have a good time.
This will be run by Suffolk Constabulary in co-operation with
other local partners. Watch out for our 'Lock 'Em Inn' posters
publicising the campaign.
FIXED PENALTY NOTICES FOR DISORDER
Suffolk Police will be issuing fixed penalty notices to anyone
caught urinating, defacating or vomiting in the street who is under
the influence of drugs of alcohol.
The fine will be £80, payable at the police station.
This will be strictly enforced.
PUBWATCH
An effective and well-established group that includes most
public houses in Ipswich, working together to make nightlife a safe
and enjoyable experience
All club and late night venues working together to provide the
best and safest clubbing environment in the eastern region. All
operate a 'Zero Tolerance to Drugs' policy that is vigorously
enforced by searching and supported by using specialist drugs
detection dogs.
Members of Clubwatch and Pubwatch support and enforce the
banning scheme.
Anyone causing repeated problems in one or more premises can be
banned. Bans can last from six months to life.
Once banned, you are 'BANNED FROM ONE BANNED FROM ALL'
People who commit more serious offences are dealt with by the
court , which can impose Exclusion Orders, making it a punishable
offence to attempt to buy a drink in licensed premises.
LEISURE LINK RADIOS FOR NIGHT TIME STAFF
The leisure link radio allows licensees to talk to each other
about incidents at their premises, so door staff are aware who to
allow in and who is banned from the venue.
Leisure Link radio subscribers are in constant contact with the
CCTV control room and Police.
CCTV
Ipswich Borough Council Control Centre manages an extensive
system of CCTV cameras that monitor the town centre 24 hours a day
365 days a year.
The CCTV operators can direct Police Patrol Officers to
locations within the town centre when there is the potential of
disorder so that it can be dealt with it before the matter
escalates.
