Safer Business Network:

This recognition celebrates our Top 10 West End Business Partners meetings, delivered in partnership with the Westminster Town Centre Policing Team. For over a year, these meetings have been a core platform for businesses, police, and partners to come together, share intelligence, and take coordinated action against the most persistent and prolific offenders. By working collectively, we’ve been able to achieve faster, more effective outcomes and strengthen the support we provide to one another.

A huge thank you to the Westminster Town Centre Policing Team for their dedication and hard work. Thank you for continuing to believe in us and for your commitment to partnership working.

And a special thank you to the retailers, BIDs, local authorities, everyone who stands with us and support our work every day. Your dedication makes collaboration like this not only possible but powerful. 

Really well done and another great example of the collaborative approach that we take with our partners to drive down retail crime in the West End.
