Her Them Speaks Out on Plain Clothes Police Officers in Clubs

Spill The Tea

Against As a Black person and woman, I find it hard to trust police officers in uniform, let alone plain-clothed officers. There is already an existing level of mistrust within my community when it comes to the police, this will just add an extra level of distrust within marginalised communities. Nicole Hemming
On The Fence I partially agree with the plain clothed police officer scheme. But if there are women in danger and the police are simply unaware of it, then how can these women reach out? Women may also think there is no one around to help, defeating the purpose of helping women. Jessica Janes

Against I appreciate the Government ' s suggestions of increased CCTV in parks and better lighting, but what benefit is having plain clothed police officers inside bars and nightclubs going to be if many of these terrible incidents take place outdoors in public and open spaces? Isabelle Salami
For As someone who has had their fair share of unwarranted conversations and groping on sticky dance floors, I’ m glad the government is finally taking precautions to prevent tragic attacks on women. Hopefully now inconspicuous police officers will be able to identify, step in and prevent harassment in nightclubs across the country. Gabriella Ferlita
Against I don ' t agree because plain clothed police officers aren ' t easy to spot. Having police inside clubs won ' t help much as clubs are normally crowded and you can’ t see everything that’ s going on. It would be better if the police patrolled outside as this is where often men tend to take advantage of drunk women. Estefania Lopete
