We’ve partnered up with the Bristol Nights, Avon and Somerset Police and Bristol City Council to raise awareness and tackle drink spiking across Bristol venues.
Together, we invite the city to take a stand against drink spikers by raising awareness of how to support victims of drink spiking and how to correctly report the crime. With over 156 pubs, clubs and venues already participating across the city, look out for our posters designed to direct people to the campaign website for resources and support.
Drink spiking is a premeditated act, a personal violation and a crime.
To increase chances of prosecution, it is critical that evidence is collected as quickly as possible as some drugs leave the system in less than 12 hours. The campaign is providing venues with Drink Spiking Testing Kits, a drink spiking procedure guide to train staff, and campaign materials to display within venues. By helping venues in the fight against the perpetrator, this campaign is the next step on our journey to eradicate crime from our city.
