All in Black were employed by Basildon Borough Council during the COVID-19 pandemic to advise and support residents and businesses in the Town Centre as well as at public locations across the borough such as Wat Tyler Country Park on following social distancing guidelines.
We successfully took pressure off Essex Police forces and council officers by implementing a Community Safety Ecosystem with visible patrols and public spaces protection programmes. A critical part of our success in Basildon was our control centre with a headquarters staffed 24/7 where operations were managed.
Local intelligence gathering is the cornerstone of our Community Safety operations and we are working to increase public trust and confidence in the safety of their public spaces. This is good for the community, the council and the police.
