How Safer Business Network Tracks London’s Prolific Offenders

Business Crime Reduction Partnerships Across 12 London Policing Areas

Safer Business Network is a not-for-profit that runs business crime reduction partnerships across London and beyond. Its analysts use ShopSafe Alert to track offenders, map hotspots and build case files for the police, while member businesses share sightings over ShopSafe radios. See how your BCRP can do the same.

“They Feel More Part of a Community”

Rachelle O’Sullivan oversees Safer Business Network’s partnerships and heads up its intelligence service. Members upload incidents to Alert, and her team sifts through the offenders and incidents to build cases on London’s prolific offenders.

On Carnaby Street, around 150 businesses are on the radios. When a known offender is spotted at the top of the street, every shop knows before they reach the door.

  • Offender connections, heat maps and crime reference numbers in one case file
  • Case files ready to present to police and statutory partners
  • Members check in on each other’s welfare when an incident is taking place
