🛍️ Safer Business Action Week – 9–15 November 2026 This week, Devon & Cornwall Police is supporting Safer Business Action Week, a national campaign bringing together police and local businesses to tackle business crime and help protect our high streets. Throughout the week, we’re highlighting crime prevention advice and sharing practical steps that local businesses can take to reduce the risk of becoming a target. We understand the impact that crime can have on a business, its livelihood and the wellbeing of employees. Safer Business Action Week is also an opportunity to strengthen relationships with local business owners and staff, listen to their concerns and highlight the support available from their neighbourhood policing teams. How can you protect your business? 🔒 Protect your premises: Make sure locks, alarms and CCTV are in good working order. A well-maintained exterior can also help deter burglars. 🛒 Deter shoplifters: Greeting customers as they enter, keeping the shop tidy and ensuring good visibility can make opportunistic theft more difficult. 📋 Keep records: If you’re experiencing thefts, record what has happened, where and when. This can help identify patterns and repeat issues. 👥 Think about staff safety: Consider personal safety procedures and carry out risk assessments, particularly when dealing with suspected shoplifting. 📹 Review your security: Consider whether electronic tagging, CCTV and other security measures are suitable for your premises. Business crime isn’t victimless, and protecting local businesses is important to keeping our communities thriving. For further advice, including how to secure your shop and deter burglars, visit the Devon & Cornwall Police website: 🔗 Keeping your business safe: 🔗 Keeping burglars out of your business: 🔗 How secure is your shop?
