Fight Back Against Retail Crime

Retail crime is rising, from shop theft and stock loss to assaults on retail staff. This event brings Bristol’s retail community together with Police and industry experts to share local successes, strengthen partnerships and support businesses to take proactive steps to prevent crime.

Bristol Business Crime Reduction Partnership (BCRP), on behalf of Bristol BID, in collaboration with Avon & Somerset Police and Smoke Screen, invites you to join us for a practical session focused on real solutions and support for retailers.

Expect short presentations, a table-top exhibition of solution providers and networking with other retailers and partners.

You will hear about crime prevention tools and resources available through Bristol BCRP / Bristol BID, and explore security measures such as fog generators, CCTV, noise deterrence and remote monitoring, alongside insights from Police and industry leaders on how offenders are being disrupted and pursued.

Speakers include:

· Clare Moody (Police & Crime Commissioner, Avon & Somerset Police)

· Sophie Jordan (CEO, NABCP)

· Lisa Maslen (Lead, NBCC)

· Will Barlow (Chief Inspector, Avon & Somerset Police)
