About Canary Wharf BCRP

CW-BCRP is a new crime reduction partnership that will span across the Canary Wharf estate, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

Statement of Purpose

The purpose of CW-BCRP for the day-time economy (retail) and night-time economy (leisure) is to create a united front against crime and to enhance the safety and security of businesses operating in these industries. Our primary objective is to foster collaboration among businesses, enabling them to share intelligence, collectively build up offender profiles, and take proactive measures to reduce the impact of crime.

Our partnership has a clear vision aimed at the reduction of business crime – To make the Canary Wharf Estate a safe and secure environment for tenants, their staff, residents and visitors alike.

By establishing a platform for information sharing and communication, we aim to empower the retail industry to work together effectively, preventing and addressing various criminal activities. Our partnership will focus on minimising stock loss, protecting businesses from theft and vandalism, and addressing other forms of criminal behaviour that adversely affect the retail and night-time economy.

Through a collective effort, we believe that we can effectively deter criminals, reduce financial losses, and create a safer environment for both businesses and customers. By uniting under this initiative, we demonstrate our commitment to creating a thriving and secure retail and night-time economy for our community.

This collective effort will yield more satisfactory results for all stakeholders involved.

Objectives

The objectives of our partnership are to reduce criminal activity against our members, minimise stock losses, and increase their profits. By achieving these goals, we aim to not only protect our members’ businesses but also enhance their trading areas and improve the overall atmosphere of the community.
