Safer Business Week 2026

Safer Business Week 2026

Good Evening,

Dyfed-Powys Police will be taking part in the national Safer Business Action Week to help tackle business and retail crime across local communities.

As part of the initiative, police and partners will be running Safer Business Action Days throughout the week, visiting local retailers and other businesses to gain a better understanding of the challenges they face on a daily basis.

For the first time, four national campaigns are joining together for SaBA Week, with the NBCC, Association of Convenience Stores (ACS), Usdaw and Retail Trust working together to strengthen efforts to protect retail workers from violence, abuse and intimidation.

The aim is to deliver a focused operation involving joint patrols, targeted action against prolific offenders and a range of crime prevention activities, supported by the National Business Crime Centre, which coordinates SaBA Week.

Supt Lisa Maslen, Lead of the National Business Crime Centre, said: “Safer Business Action Week provides an important opportunity to highlight the challenges businesses face on a daily basis, while recognising the continued partnership work taking place across the country.”

“The outcomes we have seen from these joint efforts demonstrate the positive impact of police, local authorities and the business community working together to reduce harm and make places safer for people to work and shop.”

Your local NPPT will be present at the following engagement events, if you'd like to come and speak to us:

Event 1 - Aberystwyth town, Wednesday 11th of November 2026

Event 2 - Friday 13th of November 2026, 11:00am, Tea with NPPT at M&S café in Aberystwyth. 

Thank you for your time. 

Regards,
