## Resource

Edinburgh’s city center is getting a major safety upgrade with a new police unit of nearly 50 officers, funded by a visitor levy and aimed at tackling rising crime and anti-social behavior. Designed to make streets safer for residents, workers, and tourists, the unit is already on patrol—targeting issues like shoplifting and weapons possession—with visible presence and community engagement as key strategies. Led by Chief Superintendent David Robertson, who’s seen similar units succeed, the initiative responds directly to public concerns and aims to build trust through collaboration, especially with youth, to create lasting change ahead of major events like the festival.
