Crime prevention for businesses

Unfortunately, businesses are more at risk of crime than private households, due to the various opportunities they present for criminal activity. Reducing the risk of crime will help protect your profits and make sure that the people who work with you are safe.

We have information on how you, as a business owner or manager, can reduce the risks of becoming a victim of crime. Not all of the advice will be right for you, but following some of it could make all the difference.

If you've already been a victim of crime, taking action to prevent further incidents is particularly important.

Whatever you decide do a few things, don't rely on one solution and involve everyone in the business and use their experience. 

This section contains a range of information for keeping your business or shop safe and secure.

• Preventing violence against staff
