Supporting our local shops & businesses! As part of Safer Business Week, our officers have been out and about in Hailsham and Forest Row, speaking with local businesses, offering support, and helping to keep our town centres safe.
Crime against businesses can take many forms - from shoplifting to theft and burglary. This week is an opportunity not only for increased visibility and reassurance, but also to highlight the practical steps businesses can take to protect themselves.
Alongside our patrols and visits, we’re also raising awareness of the crime-prevention schemes available to support local businesses, including: 🔸 Business Improvement District (BID)
These initiatives have been proven to help reduce crime and strengthen communication between businesses, security teams, and police.
We’re grateful to the many business owners who took the time to speak with us this week. Together, we can keep our high streets welcoming and safe for everyone.
If you're a local business and want to learn more about any of these schemes, please feel free to get in touch.
Stone Cross community updates PCSO Thompson had a very productive afternoon in Stone Cross last week, speaking with local residents and businesses about issues in the area, including anti-social behaviour and driving.
We also discussed crime prevention - especially how to keep homes, vehicles, and outbuildings secure as the nights get longer, and the importance of reporting concerns to Police.
It was great to end the visit by showing some of the local children the police car, lights, uniform, and equipment after school!
