About the National Business Crime Solution (NBCS)
It seeks to help businesses tackle crime through centralised and collective data sharing. Employing police analysts, using intelligence including CCTV and ANPR held by businesses, and linking with law enforcement agencies such as GAIN (Government Agency Intelligence Network), a direct feed of business intelligence is fed to the police via the National Business Crime Intelligence Bureau – the solution’s intelligence ‘HUB’ – building cross-police-border cases that can be presented to the police.
NBCS says that its members can rely on an evidence-based approach, pinpointing the nature and scale of the threats they face. The ‘HUB’ enables the collection and analysis of data across sectors and geographical boundaries for prolific, persistent and travelling offenders to be targeted more.
