The Slough Town Against Crime Exclusion Notice Scheme is intended to deter persons involved in crime and disorder in the retail environment.
The Slough Town Against Crime Exclusion Notice Scheme applies to businesses which are members of STAC.
Some retailers already operate similar notices, but only in relation to their own stores / shopping centres. The introduction of this scheme allows STAC members to issue an order not only excluding offenders from their store, but from all STAC premises.
What is an Exclusion Notice?
