Safer Business Action Week

Safer Business Action Week

Dorset Police is taking part in the national Safer Business Action Week to highlight its efforts in tackling business and retail crime across local communities. 

The week of action, co-ordinated by the National Business Crime Centre (NBCC), is taking place between Monday 9 November and Sunday 15 November 2026.

So far during the week, Sherborne neighbourhood policing team have visited various businesses in Sherborne, and we will also be carrying out targeted enforcement focused on prolific offenders, with increased patrols in hotspot areas.

A new NiCE digital evidence platform was also introduced earlier this year, making it easier for Dorset retailers to report offences and submit evidence directly to police.

All retailers in Dorset are encouraged to register for NiCE Investigate and make full use of the online reporting portal. Support and training are available through the Retail Crime Team.

To register for NiCE Investigate or to report retail crime online visit the Dorset Police website: https://www.dorset.police.uk/police-forces/dorset-police/areas/campaigns/campaigns/nice-investigate/
