From PS Martin Alvis, Wilts Police, and Ian Whiteway, Anti-Social Behaviour Officer, Watford Community Housing Trust:
The Al-CODE marking scheme is an innovative and simple idea that, we believe, gives enhanced evidential value to an area of concern throughout the country, where the supply and use of alcohol is contributing to anti-social behaviour.
The scheme could be aimed at shops that have been given warnings regarding the sale of alcohol, to individual shops that are targeted by the police or to those that have had staff prosecuted for the supply of alcohol in the past. It could also be used nationwide in all licensed premises.
The scheme would be aimed at the retailer not only as a way of providing evidence for the police, but also as a way of reducing the problem of alcohol related crime in the area, ensuring there is no repeat sale of underage alcohol and as an obligation of the shop under the Crime and Disorder Act.
