Our Unique Approach: A Dynamic, Adaptable Network

What sets us apart is our ability to adapt to the needs of our community. We don’t just react to crime—we proactively work to prevent it through a range of innovative, community-focused initiatives:

Early Youth Intervention Plan: We lead the way in addressing youth behaviour by working with schools, social services, and partner agencies. Our approach not only mitigates the harm caused to businesses but also recognises that young people need support, often facing vulnerabilities such as exploitation or tough home lives. By intervening early, we help keep them out of the criminal justice system while offering them a path forward.

Fostering Safety in the Night-Time Economy: As part of our ongoing efforts to tackle vulnerability, we collaborate with venues to promote safer, more inclusive nights out. From spiking awareness and vulnerability awareness initiatives to comprehensive training programmes, we equip businesses with the tools to protect their patrons and create a night-time culture that looks out for one another.

These initiatives, among others, demonstrate our adaptability and commitment to protecting Brighton’s businesses, working alongside Sussex Police, the local authority, and the wider community.
