TOGETHER WE’RE MAKING BRISTOL A SAFER AND MORE WELCOMING CITY FOR EVERYONE
The Bristol Crime Reduction Partnership (BCRP) brings together Bristol BID, local businesses, the local authority, and the police to reduce crime and its impact.
Since its launch in 2019, Bristol BCRP has become a vital connector between businesses and statutory services, supporting both the day and night-time economies. In 2025, Bristol BCRP was officially awarded the prestigious National Standards Accreditation by Police Crime Prevention Initiatives. The accreditation confirms that Bristol BCRP operates to the highest national standards in business crime reduction, governance and multi-agency collaboration.
