A new system has been introduced by the Bath Business Improvement District (BID) to help tackle crime and shoplifting in the city centre.
Following a successful trial period, the DISC system has been launched for Levy Payer businesses.
As part of the Safe and Secure Bath’s Business Crime Reduction Partnership (Bath BCRP), Bath BID has taken another step to bring businesses together to combat crime.
Bath BID Levy Payers will have free access to the DISC system to submit GDPR-compliant reports on crime and shoplifting happening in their businesses.
DISC is the UK’s leading crime prevention engagement platform, used in over 500 towns, cities, and areas across the UK and by the police.
The app allows businesses to communicate with each other and report crimes that happen in their business or surrounding areas.
The launch of DISC was marked by an introductory meeting at Komedia Bath, with over 50 daytime and nighttime economy businesses in Bath.
Many city centre businesses have requested access to the service and will be enrolled shortly.
