A CLAMPDOWN on alcohol-related crime and anti-social behaviour has been launched by police in the run up to Christmas.
Operation Shepherd, which will run until the New Year, will also promote personal safety, fire safety and keeping property and possessions safe.
As part of this operation the Nightsafe initiative will also be re-launched.
Nightsafe is a county wide campaign asking people to drink sensibly and to make sure their actions don't have a negative affect on them or other people.
Acting Assistant Chief Constable Wendy Walker said, "We want everybody in Lancashire to not only enjoy the festive period but also the run up to Christmas too. The aim of Operation Shepherd is to reassure the community and offer safety advice but also by introducing Nightsafe we can warn people about the dangers of drinking far too much and the impact that can have on them as individuals and also people around them."
