Our Impact

There are over 250 business crime reduction partnerships [BCRPs] and Business Improvement Districts [BIDs] 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 and BIDs are gaining in influence and importance.

The National Association of Business Crime Partnerships [NABCP] is the umbrella body representing BCRPs and BIDs at a national level. It seeks to promote the concept of BCRPs and BIDs 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.

 
 

Reducing business crime is our passion.

With over 30 years worth of experience serving and supporting the business community, we have the expertise, knowledge and passion to drive BCRPs and BIDs continuing development and missions for the businesses they represent. Our work impacts over 20, 000 businesses across the UK.

 

NABCP provides a national focus for business crime reduction partnerships. This helps to give the work of BCRPs a higher profile through areas such as:

  • Working with businesses and stakeholders, including police and local authorities to support the development of BCRPs and BID Crime Initiatives in the United Kingdom. The NABCP partnership model is robust, tested and accepted by police forces as best practice for information-sharing with BCRPs as trusted partners.

  • Accreditation of the new national Standard to ensure partnerships are operating lawfully, effectively and to the standards set out in the NABCP Partnership Codes of Practice and supported by National Police Chiefs Council.

  • Creating and supporting regional and county BCRP and BID groups encouraging a more strategic approach by police to business crime.

  • Providing professional advice to partnership crime managers on all issues relating to partnership management.

  • Providing partnerships with the NABCP newsletter, advice and relevant updates from the Home Office and Ministry of Justice.

  • Representing BCRPs and BID Crime Initiatives at a national level on the National Retail Crime Steering Group at the Home Office.

  • Working with the NPCC lead on business crime to promote business crime reduction as strategic force policy and working with police forces to help them develop their business crime strategy.

  • Working with retail forums to promote closer and more effective working relationships between partnerships and national retailers.
