The Friendly Face of the City Centre

If you’ve spent any time in Coventry city centre, chances are you’ve seen the Coventry BID Street Patrol team in action. Clad in their high-visibility uniforms and armed with a friendly smile, they are more than just a reassuring presence—they are the heartbeat of a safer, more welcoming Coventry.
Operating 7 days a week, the Street Patrol team is a dedicated force working tirelessly to keep the city centre vibrant, secure, and accessible for everyone. Whether it’s early morning or late evening, you’ll find them on foot, covering the length and breadth of the area, rain or shine.
Keeping Coventry Safe
A key part of their role is tackling anti-social behaviour and supporting businesses in dealing with shoplifters. Working closely with local police and security teams, they respond quickly and professionally to incidents, helping to de-escalate situations and keep the peace. Their presence deters crime and reassures both traders and visitors that Coventry is a safe place to shop, work, and enjoy.
Here to Help
But safety isn’t their only focus. The Street Patrol team also plays a vital role in wayfinding—helping visitors navigate the city, locate landmarks, and find their way to events, shops, or attractions. Whether you’re a local looking for a shortcut or a tourist visiting for the first time, the patrol is always on hand to offer directions, answer questions, and give a warm welcome.
The Face of Coventry
What makes the Coventry BID Street Patrol team truly special is their approachability and passion for the city. They don’t just work in Coventry—they represent it. Friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help, they embody the community spirit and pride that Coventry is known for.
So next time you’re in the city centre, give a wave or say hello to your Coventry BID Street Patrol. They’re not just keeping Coventry safe—they’re helping it thrive, one patrol at a time.
