"All security staff have received specialised training and have established strong working relationships with our parks team. Bidvest Noonan will work closely with our parks staff to respond to incidents in our parks as they arise."
"The introduction of the unit follows a damning council report, outlining the scale of antisocial behaviour in nine city centre parks, detailing 130 drug, arson and other antisocial behaviour incidents across July and August of last year."
"It's really important that there's a welcoming feel to parks, and that means that people don't feel that they're being watched too carefully, or they're there to be too aggressive with people."
A Mobile Security Crew, staffed by Bidvest Noonan, will operate in city parks for six months using an electric van. Security personnel will wear identifiable vests and body cameras. They have received specialized training and will collaborate with parks staff to address incidents. This initiative follows a report highlighting significant antisocial behavior in city parks, with 130 incidents recorded. The aim is to deter such behavior while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere in parks, as emphasized by Green Party councillor Janet Horner.
