Theft and anti-social behaviour can be difficult to deal with when running a business. Our Community Safety team has expanded to now include a Safer Business Officer, who has knowledge and experience of how businesses can be affected by these issues and can offer you support to combat crime and disorder in your business and local area.
Some of the tools available are Pubwatch, Shopwatch, Radio Link and Best Bar None. These will provide you with an additional network to support you fight against everyday crime that is on your doorstep.
The Community Safety Team have a number of officers, who all work to make Central Bedfordshire a safe place to live and work. The team also work alongside other agencies, such as Bedfordshire Police as Safer Central, a statutory partnership, with an aim to reduce crime and disorder in Central Bedfordshire.
Contact your local officer by email or telephone, 0300 300 5688. Additionally, visit our website.
