Crime Reduction Initiatives
At Safer Business Network, we take a proactive approach to crime prevention by leading and supporting innovative, community-driven projects that tackle crime, improve safety, and strengthen partnerships across the UK.
Our national and local projects focus on crime reduction, (from theft to violent crime), intelligence-sharing, training, and community engagement, helping businesses, public organisations, and individuals work together to build safer, stronger communities.
Every project we deliver is tailored to the needs of local areas while contributing to a national strategy for crime prevention. By collaborating with police owned organisations, councils, businesses, and key stakeholders, we ensure that our initiatives create real, measurable impact.
Our Key Projects
National Infrastructure Crime Reduction Partnership (NICRP)
A nationwide initiative focused on tackling serious organised crime affecting critical infrastructure. The NICRP brings together law enforcement, businesses, and government bodies to share intelligence, prevent crime, and protect essential services.
National Vehicle Crime Reduction Partnership (NVCRP)
A nationwide initiative focused on tackling theft of motor vehicles. The NVCRP brings together law enforcement, the motor industry, and government bodies to share intelligence, support the industry, and reduce thefts of motor vehicles.
Women’s Night Safety Charter
Developed in partnership with the Mayor of London, this initiative supports businesses in making London’s night-time economy safer for women. The charter provides guidance, training, and best practices to help businesses create safer spaces for women at night.
WAVE & Ask for Angela
The Welfare and Vulnerability Engagement (WAVE) initiative provides essential training for businesses, venues, and frontline staff on how to recognise and respond to vulnerable individuals. The Ask for Angela campaign gives customers a discreet way to seek help in potentially dangerous situations and help victims get away from potential offenders.
S.A.B.A. (Supporting A Better Action) Days
S.A.B.A. Days bring businesses, police, and security teams together for joint patrols and intelligence briefings, focusing on improving safety in night-time economy hotspots. These initiatives build trust, enhance coordination, and strengthen crime prevention efforts.

A national campaign to tackle the growing issue of violence and abuse towards retail workers. #ShopKind raises awareness, encourages positive customer behaviour, and supports businesses in creating a safe and respectful shopping environment.
Our Safer City
A comprehensive business crime reduction project designed to help city-based businesses, retail centres, and entertainment venues reduce crime and antisocial behaviour. Our Safer City strengthens partnerships between businesses and law enforcement, providing benefits and connections through intelligence-led solutions to keep high streets safe.
Why Our Projects Matter
At Safer Business Network, we focus on proactive, long-term solutions that reduce crime, foster safer communities, and strengthen businesses. Our projects tackle root causes while empowering organisations to create sustainable safety improvements.
Proactive Crime Prevention
Our projects focus on stopping crime before it happens, using intelligence-sharing, training, and data analysis to address risks and vulnerabilities. By identifying threats early, we help businesses reduce incidents and build safer environments that instil community confidence.
Community & Business-Led Initiatives
Collaboration is key to effective crime prevention. We partner with businesses, councils, law enforcement, and community groups to create tailored, practical solutions for local challenges. Each initiative is designed to meet the unique needs of the industries and areas we serve, ensuring maximum impact.
Creating Long-Term Change
We don’t just solve immediate issues—our projects are built to drive lasting improvements. By equipping organisations with ongoing training, intelligence platforms, and prevention strategies, we help ensure that safety measures remain effective well into the future.
Supporting a Safer Economy
A safer business environment leads to greater public confidence, increased footfall, and stronger economic resilience. Our initiatives not only reduce the costs of crime for businesses but also improve employee well-being and customer satisfaction, creating vibrant and prosperous communities.
