The tactics use a combination of uniformed and plainclothes officers to carry out patrols in public areas around nightclubs, bars and pubs, to identify people who may be displaying signs of predatory behaviour, such as sexual harassment, inappropriate touching, and loitering.
Plainclothes officers who identify this kind of behaviour will contact dedicated uniformed officers who will stop those identified and take positive action to discourage and disrupt this behaviour, which may include arrest.
