Edinburgh’s New Police Unit Hits Ground Running | Edinburgh News
Description
Edinburgh’s new City Centre Policing Unit hit the ground running in July, making 49 arrests and tackling over 114 offenses in just one month—plus confiscating alcohol 47 times and issuing 20 warnings while engaging with more than 200 young people. Funded partly by tourist tax, the unit—led by Inspector Stephen Quinn—faced a tough but rewarding start, especially as festival season loomed. Their early success mirrors Glasgow’s similar unit, which saw 43 arrests in March and April. The team also responded to the major Debenhams fire on Princes Street and vows to keep building momentum to make the city center safer for all.
