The national police’s National Business Crime Centre (NBCC) is holding a national week of action on business crime, from Monday, October 17.
Supt Patrick Holdaway, lead for the NBCC said: “The week of action is an opportunity to bring police and partners together to tackle the key issues of business crime in their communities. Each police force taking part will be holding various crime prevention activities and initiatives to increase engagement with local businesses and retail outlets and tackle some of the most prolific offenders.”
Businesses on high streets and town centres are encouraged to get involved and display the ShopKind messaging in their stores. All the ShopKind materials are free to download.
Edward Woodall, ShopKind campaign co-ordinator said: “We encourage all businesses to get behind the national week of action and share messages with their customers and colleagues about ShopKind.”
The City of London Police, the host force for the NBCC, will be holding a Safer Business Action (SaBA) Day including joint patrols.
