As part of the Constabulary’s Operation Banishing initiative to tackle violence against women and girls and protect vulnerable people, plain-clothed officers from the Warrington Town Centre Beat Team, aided by a Council Licensing Officer visited several venues to test how hospitality staff members would react to being asked for Angela on Saturday 22nd February.

Around Christmas time, a plain-clothed police officer visited several venues in Birmingham including Albert Schloss, Slug and Lettuce in Brindley Place, The Dragon Inn (JDW) and Mama Roux in Digbeth (which also has a female safety welfare team patrolling the venue).
