Impact of Alcohol on Policing

5/22/2013

 
Balance North East has today published a report on the ‘Impact of Alcohol on Policing’ in the North East which I thought you would be of interest.  Please find below the final version of the report and the press release, published today.

The headline figures from the report are pretty hard hitting and make a strong case for the need for minimum unit pricing for alcohol:

  • Over 80%  of police officer reported being subjected to an alcohol-related assault during their career- one in five being  assaulted six or more times

  • 97% feel at risk of physical assault when policing the night time economy

  • Almost 9 in 10 officers believe cheap alcohol contributes to alcohol-related crime and disorder

  • A majority of officers (6 in 10) said alcohol related crime and disorder takes up at least half of their time while 1 in 10 say it constitutes 80 -100% of their workload

  • On a weekend evening shift nearly every single person being dealt with or arrested is intoxicated through alcohol misuse

  • Officers often have to deal with alcohol related anti-social behaviour from children as young as eleven years old
