Abexa Business
Community safety officers in public spaces.
Security shaped around you
A visible and friendly presence that creates calm in squares, residential areas, at institutions and around town.
Calm comes from people who are present
Feeling unsafe is rarely about one big incident. It is unrest in the evening, groups taking over, vandalism and a feeling that nobody is watching. A visible community safety officer who greets people, talks to them and steps in early changes the atmosphere.
Who it is for
- Municipalities: squares, parks, libraries, sports facilities and other public places
- Housing associations: residential areas, stairwells and communal areas
- Shopping centres and transport hubs: stations, bus terminals and shopping areas
What we do
- Visible foot patrols at the times they are needed
- Dialogue with residents and users, so people know who they can turn to
- De-escalation before unrest develops
- Reporting of incidents and observations, so you can follow developments
- Rapid contact with the police, municipality or housing association when needed
