Hoteliers in Edinburgh are being urged to join a new group in a bid to improve security in their premises. Lothian and Borders Police have launched 'Checkin', a group hoping to bring the hotel industry together under a crime prevention banner. The aim of the initiative is to encourage hoteliers to share information in a bid to prevent crime. The launch takes place at one of the city's biggest hotels - the Sheraton Grand Hotel and Spa in Festival Square. Police will work alongside the participating hotels, providing advice and training to staff on crime prevention measures.
