Swindon Crime Partnership | Helping To Reduce Crime In Swindon

News

A scheme to help the homeless and reduce the number of beggars on Swindon town centre streets was launched on May 15th.

As part of the Street Safe Scheme, the management team at inSwindon Bid Company – which looks after the town centre – are putting collecting boxes in town centre cafes and asking shoppers to put donations in these instead of giving directly to beggars.

SCRIP - Introduction

According to the Retail Crime Reduction Action Team, 25% of recorded crime occurs in city, town and shopping centres. Many towns have set up Business Crime Reduction Partnerships which allow local businesses, local authorities, the police and other concerned parties to work together to reduce business crime and promote the concept of safe and secure town centres.

Databases are used to target offenders by holding details of sightings, incidents and all local crime intelligence. Intelligence can then be distributed to partners from both local and national crime reduction schemes. This serves to increase awareness of criminal activity and enables offenders and potential offenders to be identified.
