Day 3 of BCRP Awareness Week and our busiest day yet!

Another busy and productive day as we continue to celebrate BCRP Awareness Week, highlighting the vital work being done to reduce crime, support businesses, and create safer communities. Here’s a snapshot of todays events:

📍 Whitechapel – Kicked off our first-ever day of action in this brand-new partnership area! A fantastic joint operation with Metropolitan Police, London Borough of Tower Hamlets and local businesses, increasing visibility and engagement - we even had mounted police on patrol, making a real impact in the area.

📍 West End – Hosted our annual Westminster Steering Group and a Covent Garden/Seven Dials week of action alongside CIS Security Limited, SABER SECURITY, Met TCT, and Met SNT. During engagement visits, we spotted a prolific OCG, which we alerted on the ShopSafe radio network enabling businesses and security to successfully deter them from the area.
📍 Fulham – Joint patrols with the Metropolitan Police, Fulham Broadway BID and Hammersmith & Fulham Council showcasing the benefits of businesses working together to prevent crime and improve safety.
📍 Islington Archway – Joint patrols with the Metropolitan Police Safer Neighbourhood team, focusing on obtaining statements and intelligence on our top offenders.
