A safer retail environment
Raid-control™ is a crime reduction initiative that was conceived by IBP and donated to ‘Raid-control’, a Police and industry partnership, supported by the British Security Industry Association, British Retail Consortium and other organisations in the security and retail sectors.

The initiative aims to raise security standards in retail premises, thereby reducing the potential for commercial robbery and creating safer working environments. The initiative aims to tackle the general lack of awareness amongst retailers of good practice security measures and training, which contributes to the high number of commercial robberies.

There is a need to improve standards by creating national guidelines on security for retail premises and to encourage retailers to adopt these as an integral part of running their business.
