Crime does impact upon business. It:

• affects your ability to meet customer deadlines
• wastes management time in dealing with incidents
• lowers staff moral
• impacts upon your profit margins

Businesses are reluctant to report incidents to the police because they feel it is 'too much hassle' or 'police response is too slow' or 'we have no confidence that offenders will be prosecuted if caught.'

It is shocking that for every 1 incident reported, another 8 go unreported. Nearly two thirds of businesses have been a victim of crime in the previous 12 months. Many businesses are repeat victims.

If we have the evidence to put to the police and the Home Office on how businesses are impacted by crime, we can change this. Help to protect your business by reporting Every Crime, Every Time.
