Business Watch

Business Watch schemes are partnerships between the business community, local authorities, the police, and other organisations that represent business interests.

There are over 2,500 Business Watch members across the five police areas within Thames Valley.

The aims of Business Watch are to:

  • Enable businesses to take an active part in preventing and reducing crime on their business premises.
  • Share best practice, raise business crime prevention awareness and improve communication between members through meetings and newsletters.
  • Promote increased standards for business security.

For more information on how to join a local Business Watch scheme, please contact your local crime prevention and reduction adviser. We are also able to advise you on the best crime prevention methods to use to protect your business.
