What is Gloucester City Safe?
Gloucester City 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.
We are representative of both Day and Night Time Economies, working together to reduce shoplifting, theft, anti-social behaviour, alcohol related disorder, street drinking and begging which affect all businesses throughout Gloucester.
Gloucester City Safe runs 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 Gloucester City Safe. 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 Gloucester a safer place for all to live, work and visit.
Making Gloucester safer and more secure for us all
Gloucester is a colourful, vibrant and unique City, home to restaurants, bars, clubs and shops and hosting thousands of residents, businesses and visitors every day.
All this means that, sadly, it is also an area which attracts certain types of crime, including petty theft, shoplifting, drug-related activity and alcohol related disorder. We are working hard with local residents and businesses to crack down on this illegal activity, whilst still preserving the unique character which has made the area so famous.
The business crime reduction partnerships are a joint initiative with the local business community, the Gloucester Police Service and Gloucester City Council. They offer members the chance to help to reduce shoplifting, theft, alcohol related disorder and other anti-social behaviour which affects YOUR business.
