Police and Crime Commissioner Donna Jones is asking people to consider their behaviour and be kind to shop workers this Christmas. The plea is in support of the national #ShopKind campaign that is being launched by the Association of Convenience Stores on Monday, 22nd November. 

The film features real people who have put themselves at risk working in essential shops, keeping families fed and providing vital human interaction for so many people who have been alone at home for much of the year.

The Police and Crime Commissioner is urging businesses of any size to become hate crime aware during this year’s National Hate Crime Awareness Week.

The Safer North Hampshire Partnership, Enterprise Rent-a-Car Ltd, and the Assistant Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Southampton have launched the new ‘Business Crime Guide: Supporting employees affected by hate crime’.
