About Us
A National Voice for Safer Business Communities
The National Association of Business Crime Partnerships (NABCP) is the only organisation in the UK dedicated exclusively to representing Business Crime Reduction Partnerships (BCRPs) and Business Improvement District (BID) crime initiatives.
We bring together Business Crime Reduction Partnerships (BCRPs) and Business Improvement District (BID) crime initiatives across the UK, providing national leadership, expert guidance, and a unified voice.
Through partnership working, accreditation, and advocacy, we help ensure every BCRP and BID crime initiative operates lawfully, effectively, and with lasting impact.
Our Mission
At the National Association of Business Crime Partnerships (NABCP), we believe in the power of collaboration to create safer business communities.
Our mission is to reduce crime, disorder, and anti-social behaviour affecting businesses, their staff, and customers- strengthening the partnerships that protect our towns and cities.
Collaborative
We connect BCRPs, BIDs, police, and national partners to share intelligence and strengthen community safety and build lasting trust.
Trusted
Our accredited standards, recognised by the National Police Chiefs’ Council, ensure partnerships operate with integrity and confidence.
Informed
We represent members nationally, influencing government and policy discussions to prioritise business crime reduction.
Impactful
With over 250 partnerships supporting more than 20,000 businesses, our collective work creates safer, more resilient communities.
Our Impact
There are more than 250 partnerships across the UK, from small town initiatives to large, city-wide operations, serving over 20,000 businesses and countless employees and visitors.
These partnerships have become an essential part of local community safety infrastructure. As statutory services face increasing pressures, BCRPs and BID crime initiatives are filling vital gaps, identifying offenders, deterring repeat behaviour, and protecting vulnerable people in our communities.
NABCP amplifies this impact by:
Accrediting partnerships through the national NABCP Standard - ensuring they operate lawfully, effectively, and to the codes of practice supported by the National Police Chiefs’ Council
Advising and supporting partnership managers with best practice, professional guidance, and policy updates from the Home Office and Ministry of Justice.
Connecting regional and county groups, encouraging joined-up policing and a strategic approach to business crime across the UK.
Representing BCRPs and BID crime initiatives at national level on the National Retail Crime Steering Group and in collaboration with the National Business Crime Centre and National Business Crime Solution.
Promoting collaboration between partnerships and national retailers to build stronger, safer, and more connected business communities.
Driven by Partnership
With more than 30 years of experience, NABCP is built on collaboration, trust, and shared purpose. Our work is guided by our members - evolving as new challenges emerge and new opportunities arise.
Together, we are building a safer environment for everyone who works, shops, and socialises in our towns and cities.
“NABCP has a wealth of experience in the Business Crime Partnership world and is the only organisation to exclusively represent BCRPs in the UK. As a member, we are proud to work together with the NABCP and the partnerships they represent, securely sharing vital intelligence on travelling suspects nationally.”
