This page brings together a growing library of free PDF guides produced in support of the Tackling Retail Crime Together strategy.
Developed with input from policing, retailers, the security industry, Business Crime Reduction Partnerships and academia, each guide is designed to help partners put the plan’s key deliverables into practice.
Whether you are responding to an incident, working to prevent offending in a high harm location or reviewing how your organisation manages retail crime, you’ll find resources here to support you. We’ll continue to add new resources as work against the delivery plan progresses, so please check back regularly.
This guide sets out what is expected of everyone in a retail setting, from shop floor colleagues and security officers to store and area managers, with clear, practical responsibilities for each role. It also includes safety guidance for lone workers and reduced-staffing stores.
