The Leicestershire Constabulary have released their latest initiatives and messaging to help make this year’s event as safe and secure as possible for all those attending.
For the third year in a row, the police will be using a text messaging and email service aimed at gathering crime prevention information from people coming along this year. The service was launched to encourage festival-goers to give the police information about crime related matters in advance of the event.
Anyone with information can text ‘police’ and then their message to 86688 or email downloadfestival.intel@leicestershire.pnn.co.uk.
The information will be treated anonymously and will enable the police into build up a picture, in advance of the event, of any potential trouble.
PC Kev Walker said; “The festival is expected to attract tens of thousands of music fans and we know that the Download website, and other online fan forums, are very popular so it made sense to set up an email and text service to encourage fans to let us know if they hear of anything that might be useful to us.”
“The information we receive via email or text will be treated in the strictest confidence so we would urge people to get in touch.”
The police and the Leicestershire Drug and Alcohol Action Team (DAAT) will be using modern technology to get crime prevention and sensible drink and drug messages to people at this year’s festival. Workers from the Drug Intervention Programme will be walking aroundDonington Park

Here’s how…
- Upload your video to www.redbullbedroomjam.com. Don’t worry about the quality, a mobile phone video of you playing in your bedroom will do…it’s the talent that counts (a good tip would be to check out Don Broco’s video on the homepage!)
- Get your fans to log on and watch and rate your video…
- The most popular artists get selected for a live-streamed performance…on broadcast day, the Red Bull Bedroom Jam crew collect the musicians and selected mates and fans, and the winners rock out in front of the camera!
