PubWatch

PubWatch is a community safety scheme where local pubs and licensed venues collaborate to promote responsible drinking and reduce alcohol-related issues. Participants share information about problematic customers or incidents to prevent disturbances, disorder, or criminal behavior. By working together, venues enhance their ability to identify and manage risks, creating a safer environment for staff and patrons. PubWatch often involves a networked communication system, such as a watchlist or alert system, and may include training and best practice sharing. Overall, it fosters cooperation among local venues to improve safety and reduce crime associated with licensed premises.
