Four cars have been seized by police as part of an operation to stop male drivers catcalling female joggers in Bradford.

The JogOn initiative, which includes the city council, West Yorkshire Police and other bodies, has also seen five fines handed out as well as a host of traffic offence reports.

The scheme, which includes undercover female police officers posing as runners, has also provided active bystander training to 600 people.

Great initiative. Everyone deserves to go about their business whilst feeling safe without being embarrassed or offended.

I wish this was a countrywide scheme. Thanks for sharing. Women should be able to run safe from this sort of awful behaviour.
