COPS Office Toolkit

The Arlington Restaurant Initiative: A Nightlife Policing Strategy to Improve Safety and Economic Viability


Safe Night's Dimitrios (Jim) Mastoras authored a new US DOJ COPS Office Toolkit called The Arlington Restaurant Initiative: A Nightlife Policing Strategy to Improve Safety and Economic Viability. The publication was released to assist other municipalities incorporate the relationship-based approach to managing nightlife and improving safety.


Abstract:  The Arlington County (Virginia) Police Department (ACPD) has instituted the Arlington Restaurant Initiative, a voluntary accreditation system based on Best Bar None - a program designed to establish and promote relationships between restaurants and bars, local authorities, and the community by promoting responsible alcohol management - that originated in Manchester, UK, in 2003. This publication describes the ACPD's work to change its policing approach in the popular Clarendon nightlife area from a focus on enforcement to a focus on prevention. It also discusses a research analysis of the program conducted by the Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy at George Mason University.
