Last summer, the Horsham District Business Crime Reduction Partnership (BCRP) was formed, and members use a smartphone app to report local issues.
The unique information sharing app, called DISC, has since been successfully helping businesses tackle crime. DISC enables users to report business crime and anti-social behaviour quickly and easily and reports are shared with the police. Users can access live information, as well as make reports which give the police a much better real time picture of any issues.
DISC is available to BCRP members free of charge for the first three years.
Business sign up
Membership of the BCRP is suitable not only for local retailers and pubs, but also for other public-facing businesses such as leisure centres, sports clubs, train stations, and food outlets.
At the time of writing, some 230 businesses have already registered with the BCRP/ DISC. To request a sign-up form, please email: communitysafety@ horsham.gov.uk.
