The Home Office and the Department for Business have published two complementary guides on how to tackle crimes against business. One is for businesses, giving practical tips including how they can get themselves heard locally and identify organisations that can help them tackle crime. The second guide is for business crime partnerships, with advice on how they can engage with business, influence local priorities and promote their partnerships. These sit alongside guidance for Neighbourhood Police Teams on engaging with business at a local level, recently published by the National Police Improvement Agency. These have been published on the BERR website and the Home Office Crime Reduction site and are also available to download below:
