POLICE have praised the security team at The Oracle shopping centre in Reading, highlighting their work to prevent drink and drug driving.
And they have been so impressed that they have nominated the staff for the British Security Awards, highlighting their quick decision making, and ability to tackle drivers over limit.
“The team are outstanding at recognising and reporting drivers who they feel are over the limit and they are always spot on,” the citation from Thames Valley Police reads.
“The Oracle report a number of these incidents, which in turn allows us to respond efficiently and prevent people being hurt.
“In most cases when the Police arrive the Security Team will have prevented the vehicle from leaving at the gates and in some cases have persuaded drivers to exit the vehicle. This makes the job for the Police much safer.
“We can trust that the Security Team have acted professionally and have the public’s best interests at heart.”
The winners will be announced later in the year.
