Mobile Youth Intervention Centre
Creating a safe space
in the community
Our STOPNASK mobile intervention service breaks down behaviour stereotypes about young people and builds bridges of communication between a variety of different social groups.
With the rise in drugs offences, violent crime and the increase in young people hiding and using sharp weapons, it is important for them to know the consequences involved. Some of these consequences may result in being stopped and searched and can also lead to imprisonment.
The team are fully trained in offering advice and signposting to the public with the use of our outreach vehicle. The delivery of information and support can be offered as a way of providing information as to why they are being stopped, and also how to respond in a safe and confident way. Providing a filter between knowing your rights and responsibilities and understanding how and why the stop and search may relate to you.
It also focuses on teaching and preparing people of all ages to engage more with local authorities such as the metropolitan police or other public bodies.
