New Strategic Partnership Launches to Strengthen Intelligence-Led Community Safety Across UK Towns and Cities
Apex Radio Systems is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with the National Retail Crime Alliance (NRCA), UK Partners Against Crime (UKPAC), Retailers Against Crime (RAC) and SentrySIS to help towns and cities develop stronger, more connected approaches to crime reduction and community safety.
The partnership has been created to support Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), Business Crime Reduction Partnerships (BCRPs), Town Centre Partnerships, local authorities, police and community safety teams by bringing together the key operational elements needed to establish and manage effective crime reduction partnerships.
Across the UK, many towns and cities already have important elements of crime reduction in place — from ShopWatch schemes and PubWatch groups to radio networks, reporting platforms and local partnership initiatives. However, these systems often operate independently, limiting visibility, coordination and long-term effectiveness.
This new initiative addresses that challenge by providing a more joined-up operational framework that combines communication, intelligence management, incident reporting, offender management and partnership collaboration into one coordinated model.
At Apex Radio Systems, we understand that communication sits at the heart of effective operational response. For over 35 years, we have supported businesses, BIDs and community safety partnerships through trusted communication solutions, helping frontline teams stay connected when it matters most.
Together with our partners, we are committed to helping towns and cities:
-
Improve intelligence sharing
-
Strengthen partnership collaboration
-
Better identify repeat offenders
-
Enhance operational response
-
Create safer environments for businesses, staff and the wider community
This partnership represents a significant step towards a more connected, intelligence-led approach to community safety.
Together, we share a clear vision: safer, better-connected communities where businesses can thrive and people feel protected.
