Metal detectors are being fitted in pubs across Inverness as part of police initiative called ‘Operation Respect.’ The detectors, which will be in place for the festive season, are being deployed to ensure the safety of staff and customers. Chairman of Inverness Pub Watcn Don Lawson (pictured), told the Inverness Courier, “One of my aims as Chairman is to provide a safe and secure environment for, not only patrons of licensed premises, but also the staff who work within these premises. It doesn’t send out the wrong message, it sends out a deterrent. The safest place to go for a drink is a pub.”
