Gloucestershire Safe is a not for profit Business Crime Reduction Partnership (BCRP) formed by members of the Business Community with the sole intention of facilitating the reduction of crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour around Gloucestershire.
We are representative of both day and nighttime economies, working together to reduce shoplifting, theft, anti-social behaviour, alcohol related disorder, street drinking and begging which affect all businesses throughout Gloucestershire.
We run an exclusion scheme whereby members can issue ‘Yellow Card’ warnings to persons who misbehave in or near their premises. Normally, 2 Yellow Cards would lead to an exclusion from the services of all members of the scheme. This includes shops, restaurants, pubs, clubs and transportation services. It is this strength in unity of our members that makes the scheme such a deterrent to would be offenders.
We work hand in hand with police, Local Authorities and other like-minded and supportive partners, striving to make Gloucestershire a safer place for all to live, work and visit.
