Safer Business Week 2026

Safer Business Week 2026

Good Morning,

Dyfed-Powys Police will be taking part in the national Safer Business Action Week to help tackle business and retail crime across local communities.

As part of the initiative, police and partners will be running Safer Business Action Days throughout the week, visiting local retailers and other businesses to gain a better understanding of the challenges they face on a daily basis.

For the first time, four national campaigns are joining together for SaBA Week, with the NBCC, Association of Convenience Stores (ACS), Usdaw and Retail Trust working together to strengthen efforts to protect retail workers from violence, abuse and intimidation.

The aim is to deliver a focused operation involving joint patrols, targeted action against prolific offenders and a range of crime prevention activities, supported by the National Business Crime Centre, which coordinates SaBA Week.

Today PCSO 8014 and Licencing Officer Nigel Lewis will be visiting local businesses in Haverfordwest. This will give them the opportunity to talk to staff and understand any issues they have been facing, provide reassurance and give crime prevention advice. 

Supt Lisa Maslen, Lead of the National Business Crime Centre, said: “Safer Business Action Week provides an important opportunity to highlight the challenges businesses face on a daily basis, while recognising the continued partnership work taking place across the country.”

“The outcomes we have seen from these joint efforts demonstrate the positive impact of police, local authorities and the business community working together to reduce harm and make places safer for people to work and shop.”

Thank you for your time. 

Regards

Haverfordwest Neighbourhood Policing and Prevention Team
