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.
Who are we
Our BCRP members represent Bristol’s diverse day and night-time economies and are a valuable support network for one another.
Members benefit from our specialist information-sharing technology to help prevent and detect crime. We are also nurturing a stronger relationship between businesses, the police, local authorities and partners for a more coordinated response to business crime.
Where we work
The BCRP is active across the Bristol BID area. Our members represent retail, offices, the night-time economy, and the leisure and hospitality sector. This diversity of members and broad geographical reach helps to make our partnership more effective.
