What is the purpose of the scheme?

The 'Exclusion Order' is intended to deter and remove persons involved in Business crime from Burton upon Trent town centre.

How does an exclusion work?

The Police serve an Exclusion Notice on behalf of the Parnership on the arrest and charge of an offender. The offender is given a list of the member premises advising them of where they are prohibited from as well as any premises displaying a BBCRP window sticker.

The duration of the Exclusion is 12 months. Anyone served with an Exclusion Order has a right to appeal against it and their case will be put before a scrutiny panel.
