POP Plus

The Positive Outcomes Project Plus (POP+) is a unique, partnership-based outreach team that aims to break the cycle between addiction and offending. The service is delivered by Sacro in partnership with Police Scotland and Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership.

POP Plus consists of team members with lived experience of addiction and the criminal justice system, who use their life, recovery, and work experience to engage with and provide support to male detainees, within Greater Glasgow’s police custody cells. The team members ability to build rapport with detainees allows them to signpost them to agencies who can help tackle a whole range of issues such as addictions, anger management, homelessness, mental health & wellbeing, and welfare needs.

The service is available to males who have been in police custody and are aged over 16. Female clients can be referred on to partner agency Tomorrows Women.
