NBCC launches national week of action to target business crime today

The National Business Crime Centre (NBCC) is holding a national week of action to
support businesses and reduce business crime across the country.

The week of Action will starts today and involves police forces and
partners working together to hold targeted operations in towns and city centres,
running high profile media and social media campaigns, and engaging with local
businesses, retailers and the community to raise awareness of business crime in the
area. The City of London Police, who host the NBCC, will be holding a Safer Business
Action (SaBA) Day to deliver a focussed operation with joint patrols, the targeted
intervention of offenders and a range of crime prevention activity including raising awareness of the local issues with the general public.

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 trading on high streets and town centres are also encouraged to get involved and display the ShopKind messaging in their stores. All the ShopKind materials are free to download here. <- there's a link in the newsletter.
