"This month the Metropolitan Special Constabulary Tasking Unit completed another hugely successful operation. The Special Constables assisted with 'Safe Night', an operation that focuses on policing Leicester Square and the surrounding area.
A total of 28 Specials from both the dedicated Tasking Unit (a central pool of Special Constables who can be deployed anywhere across London) and the local borough went on the beat on Friday 16 September. They dealt with a number of offences and made arrests for handling stolen goods, racially aggravated threatening behaviour, drunkenness and public order offences. There were also over 100 instances of alcohol being confiscated, six exclusions implemented and numerous stop and searches.
'Their attitude and commitment was first class. They really engaged with the public, both the well meaning and more troublesome. This is demonstrated by the excellent results in terms of arrests, stops and alcohol seizures and a virtually incident free Friday night in Leicester Square.'" [Snippet]
