Our Mission:
Empower businesses.
We advocate for Business Crime Reduction Partnerships and Business Improvement District Crime Initiatives across the U.K. to help give businesses the tools and support they need to combat business crime.
Our Mission
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 Impact
There are over 250 business crime reduction partnerships [BCRPs] operating in the UK. They range in size from limited schemes operating in small towns to city wide operations with several staff and hundreds of members. Working closely with police forces and councils they all serve to make their localities safer places to live, work and visit and, as funding for statutory services gets tighter, BCRPs are gaining in influence and importance.
The National Association of Business Crime Partnerships [NABCP] is the umbrella body representing BCRPs and BID Crime Initiatives at a national level. It seeks to promote the concept of BCRPs to local and national government and to increase the collective effectiveness of the hundreds of schemes across the country by lobbying for greater resources and influence.

Our membership
NABCP has a wealth of experience in the Business Crime Partnership and BID Crime Initiative world and is the only organisation to exclusively represent BCRP’s. 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 can make a difference and reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in our towns and cities. The NABCP provides a national focus for business crime reduction partnerships. This helps to give the work of BCRPs and BIDs a higher profile and showcase how working locally, we can combat business crime together.
Representation
The NABCP represents Business Crime Partnerships at a national level on the National Retail Crime Steering Group at the Home Office. We also work with retail forums to promote closer and more effective working relationships between partnerships and national retailers.
Accreditation
The NABCP is one of only two Assessing Organisations working with the National Business Crime Centre to offer Business Crime Reduction Partnership assessments. The Accreditation ensures partnerships are operating lawfully, effectively and to the standards set out in the NABCP Codes of Practice and supported by National Police Chiefs Council.
Support
We work with businesses and stakeholders, including police and local authorities to support the development of BCRPs and BIDs in the U.K. The NABCP partnership model is robust, tested and accepted by police forces as best practice for information sharing with BCRPs and BIDs as trusted partners.
Advice
We provide professional advice to partnership crime managers on all issues relating to partnership management and we send regular newsletters, advice and relevant updates from the National Retail Crime Steering Group at the Home Office straight to our business crime managers. We are always here to help.
