What is the BCRP?
Running a business comes with its own challenges, and crime and anti-social behaviour can have a significant impact on staff, customers and profitability. The Business Crime Reduction Partnership is a free membership scheme, funded by the Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner, Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts, and the East Midlands Mayor, Claire Ward, which helps businesses work together, share information and stay informed.
Through regular communications, events and partnership working, the BCRP provides businesses with access to the information, support and connections they need to help keep their premises, employees and customers safe. Operating within the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, the partnership gives businesses a stronger voice in local conversations around crime and community safety.
