Derbyshire Business Against Crime
Originally funded by the East Midlands Development Agency, the programme began in 2003 by providing comprehensive, free of charge advice and information about how to combat business crime. Now, with DDEP backing, a website has been launched (www.saferderbyshire.gov.uk), an e-mail alert system servicing over 1,800 local businesses has been established, a number of seminars have been held in the county and the Business Crime Forum, comprising of local business leaders, has been formed to steer the project.In December 2004, DDEP funding was also used to employ four new crime advisors who work alongside project coordinator Samantha Hancock. Given the success of the scheme, in May further DDEP funding was approved to launch 'Business Crime Toolkits'. These contain a range of crime prevention measures that are tailored around individual businesses by one of the advisors. They include Smart Water, Auto Dial alarms, counter fraud/forgery equipment and self contained CCTV technology. The countywide launch of the SmartWater took place at the DDEP Annual Meeting on Friday, 15th July.
