Strengthening Partnerships, Reducing Crime, Shaping the Future
Our Mission
The National Association of Business Crime Partnerships exists to empower local partnerships to make a national impact. By representing BCRPs and BID crime initiatives across the UK, we provide practical support, expert guidance, and a unified voice to help businesses prevent crime, share intelligence, and shape safer high streets and communities.
The National Association of Business Crime Partnerships
Representation
We are the national voice for Business Crime Reduction Partnerships. The NABCP represents BCRPs at the Home Office’s National Retail Crime Steering Group and works with retail forums to strengthen relationships between partnerships and national retailers.
Support
We work closely with businesses, police, and local authorities to help establish and grow effective BCRPs and BID crime initiatives. Our trusted partnership model is recognised by police forces as best practice for secure information sharing and collaboration.
Advice
We provide expert guidance for partnership crime managers, from day-to-day management to strategic development. Members also receive regular newsletters, updates, and insights from the National Retail Crime Steering Group — ensuring they’re always informed and supported.
Our mission is to reduce acquisitive and violent crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour against businesses, their premises, staff and customers. We do this by working with the local business crime partnerships and BIDs across the U.K.
Our Mission
National Standards Accreditation
The NABCP is one of only two official Assessing Organisations working with the National Business Crime Centre (NBCC) to deliver Business Crime Reduction Partnership assessments.
Accreditation provides reassurance that partnerships are operating lawfully, effectively, and in line with the NABCP Codes of Practice, which are endorsed and supported by the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC).
For businesses, police, and local authorities, accreditation is the mark of trust and quality — ensuring that BCRPs meet national standards and deliver genuine value to their members and communities.
Our membership
The NABCP is the only organisation dedicated to exclusively representing Business Crime Reduction Partnerships (BCRPs) and BID crime initiatives across the UK. With years of specialist experience, we provide a strong national focus for local partnerships — raising their profile, strengthening their voice, and helping them deliver safer communities.
As members of the National Retail Crime Steering Group, and in partnership with the National Business Crime Centre and the National Business Crime Solution, we ensure that BCRPs are connected at the highest level. Together, we can reduce crime and anti-social behaviour, protect businesses, and make our towns and cities safer for everyone.
