Project Vigilant is an initiative created by Thames Valley Police to target predatory behaviour in the night time economy to prevent sexual offences. The initiative uses a combination of uniformed and plain clothed officers who carry out patrols to identify people who may be displaying signs of predatory behaviour such as sexual harassment, inappropriate touching and loitering. Crimewatch joined officers on a deployment in Reading town centre to get a better understanding of how the initiative works.
