A police liaison officer is to start working in partnership with Lothian Buses and Edinburgh Trams staff in the coming weeks. The move, which is a joint initiative between Police Scotland and the Transport for Edinburgh Group, is part of a wider community safety and crime prevention drive across the city.

Welcoming the partnership, Lothian Buses’ Head of Operations, Sarah Boyd, said: “PC Julie Cochrane will be working with staff across the company to provide support and advice on how best to handle difficult situations and, how best to report and prevent crime and anti-social behaviour. This partnership is about ensuring that passengers continue to feel as safe as possible as they wait for their bus and when they travel.”
