Operation Columbus
The towns & cities in Sussex are major tourist
destinations and with the 120 mile coastline, proximity to mainland Europe and
the high number of quality language schools its not surprising to find that it
is host to many thousands of international language visits each year.
COLUMBUS is a project created by Sussex Police designed to
ensure the safety and well being of international language students during their
visits. The project represents a partnership between police, language schools,
student bodies and local authorities which seeks to apply the best practice from
lessons learned through years of practical application.
The police also produce a wide range of advice & guidance
for students which is distributed by local authorities & language schools
now in a CD format which will be sent to schools either on request ot htrough
Police Officers/Staff linking into Operation Columbus. Language schools appoint
staff as liaison officers to ensure good communications between students,
schools, councils and police which help prevent problems and also deal with any
that occur.
