Undercover police pose as joggers to catch catcallers

Undercover police are posing as joggers in a bid to crack down on street harassment and catcalling. Surrey Police are sending female officers clad in civilian jogging gear on runs in “key locations” around the county as part of new tactics designed to tackle harassment against runners. The force said they recognised the issue was a “significant worry” for women and girls in the area, labelling it as “unacceptable”. The campaign has seen support crews accompany female officers who have volunteered to take part from a distance, ready to swoop in if the officers experience catcalling or harassment. #UndercoverCops #StreetHarassment #Catcalling #WomenSafety #PoliceSting #JoggerCops Watch more on Independent TV: https://tinyurl.com/yc7ukx9n The Independent is the world’s most free-thinking newsbrand, providing global news, commentary and analysis for the independently-minded.
