This week, 14-20th October, is Safer Business Action Week. 

During The National Business Crime Centre's (NBCC) Safer Business Action Week, police and partners across the country join together to tackle business crime in their communities. 

Telford officers will be at BODUM (UK) Ltd, Unit F, Halesfield 10, TF7 4QP, on Weds 16th Oct, 10am-midday.
We will also have a limited supply of catalytic converter kits available for free and crime prevention information and advice for businesses. 

The Safer Business Action Week involves Business Reductions Partnerships (BCRPs) , Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) and the the private security industry working with local police forces to deliver a focused 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 coordinated nationally but it very much focused on local crime and ASB issues impacting retail and other businesses in the community. It is as much about engaging with businesses and the public as it is about identifying and catching prolific offenders. Last year’s week of action saw some fantastic results in targeting those who cause the most harm to businesses and also in building ongoing relationships between business, partners and the police.”
