INTELLIGENCE SHARING PLATFORM The Business Crime Reduction Partnership (BCRP) continues to bring together the police, the city council, Broadmead BID and Bristol City Centre BID to help reduce crime against businesses, identify areas of concern and easily share intelligence with those signed up to the scheme. To deliver this, an intelligencesharing platform, DiSC, and supporting radio system both link businesses, the police and the council Operations Centre, and the information shared helps drive down crime across the business sectors. With the anticipated return of non-
essential retail next month, this will be an invaluable tool to reduce and prevent crime. The system is easily accessed by users via an APP, giving up to date information on persistent offenders and alerting members. It provides the police and businesses with the information to put in place formal sanctions and preventative measures if required. The system is currently available to all BCRP members and is being extended to businesses who would wish to participate for a small fee. To join the DiSC and radio system, please contact the relevant BID:
