Operation Steadfast will officially launch on June 28 and will run between Thursday and Sunday each week until July 29.
As part of the campaign, Police officers will undertake joint patrols with Stirling Council counterparts within Stirling city centre, including Friars Street, Baker Street, Back Walk and Murray Place.
Both agencies are looking to address underage drinking and associated antisocial behaviour as well as other crime trends, which tend to increase over the summer months, such as acquisitive crime and violence.
In addition to the high-visibility patrols, Operation Steadfast will see police work closely with youth services, social work and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service to engage with young people and highlight the consequences of behaving in a manner that puts themselves and others at risks.
Council officers will also join colleagues from the Police to undertake visits to the various licensed premises within Stirling to ensure no proxy purchasing of alcohol is taking place and that anyone under the age of 18 is not able to buy alcohol themselves.
To provide a continued visible presence within the city centre, a mobile police station will be in operation on Friars Street between 2 pm and 2am each day that Operation Steadfast is running.
Councillor Maureen Bennison, Convenor of Stirling Council’s Public Safety Committee said: “Stirling City Centre is the heart of the Council area’s trading body and we want to do all we can to protect it.
“There are issues over safety in this area of the City which impact on the public and our businesses and these issues need to be addressed. Operation Steadfast is a positive step by both the Council and Police Scotland in a bid to tackle anti-social behaviour head-on.
“We want to change people’s actions by showing there is a consequence to anti-social behaviour, but also protect our local businesses by ensuring they have a safe environment in which to operate.”
Members of the public who wish to report ongoing issues in the area during this time, or who would like advice on keeping themselves safe while enjoying the night-time economy, are welcome to drop into the mobile police station to speak to a member of the Community Policing Team.
Stirling Council elected members will also visit the site on Friday, June 29 to see Operation Steadfast in action.
Chief Inspector Gill Boulton, Local Area Commander for Stirling, said: “With the summer holidays now almost here, we have been working closely with our partners to ensure we are all doing our utmost to keep young people safe and to prevent crime and disorder impacting upon the city centre.
“We have identified a number of priorities for Operation Steadfast with the overall intention of protecting young and vulnerable people from harm, removing access to alcohol by those under 18, and reducing anti-social behaviour and criminality.
“This campaign is the culmination of careful planning between ourselves, Stirling Council and other key partners and I am grateful to all agencies for committing so much time and resource to Operation Steadfast.
“By working together we can keep Stirling a safe and prosperous place to live, work and visit and ensure that our communities who enjoy all that Stirling city centre has to offer, can do so safely.”
