In a world of evolving threats, find out more information about keeping safe and informed.

Staying vigilant and safe

We work with a variety of community and public body partners to keep Stirling a safe and welcoming city. We can all play a small part in maintaining and enhancing our safety and well-being - whether that's keeping up-to-date on the latest advice from government sources, or seeing something not quite right and making sure it's reported. Together, we've got it covered.

What Stirling Council does to keep you safe

As well as maintaining close relationships with partners such as Police Scotland, we actively train our staff members to be vigilant for suspicious behaviour, and to report anything they are unsure of.

We are also active participants in the UK Government's Contest strategy, specifically the Prevent work-stream.
