  Friday 16th May – Project Vigilant Deployment

  On the evening of Friday 16th May, assisted by the Bath Outers Beat Team a Project Vigilant deployment was carried out in Bath City Centre.

  Project Vigilant is a bespoke operation involving specially trained officers that targets predatory behaviours in the Night Time Economy, especially those aimed towards women and girls.

  We deployed officers during ‘Party In The City’ events in the City Centre where hi-vis Officers engaged with revellers while plain clothes officers monitored crowds, looking out for inappropriate behaviours.
