Why the Partnership 
Started

There is no doubt that all agencies involved in the prevention & solving of anti-social behaviour (ASB) & crime are experiencing significant resource pressures at a time when the level of negative activity faced by businesses is rising.

​

Running any kind of business currently is challenging enough without having to deal with rising levels of theft, verbal & physical abuse and ASB etc. However, we also see low levels of actual reporting to the agencies that have a statutory responsibility to deal with this activity – often because of time pressures of reporting, complex & non-user friendly methods, or a perceived lack of response or enforcement.
 

Thus the creation of the conurbation wide ‘Against Business Crime’ driven & funded by the three Business Improvement Districts in Poole and Bournemouth addresses.

Full support

Having the full buy in & support from the Police, local authority & the Police Crime Commissioner.

Easier reporting

Making it easier & quicker to report ASB & crime.

Business support

Giving businesses the support to fill in & supply information on ASB & retail crime activity more efficiently.

Faster response

Provide the Police & local authority with more accurate & faster data to identify these individuals, hotspots & trends.

Better results

Hold those statutory bodies to account for
activity & results.

Safety & security, across all of the BID areas is one of the
top-rated issues in terms of concern – so that’s why the BIDs
have come together – to address that concern & to support our businesses with positive & practical action
