An exciting day for our ShopWatch team as they are exhibiting at the NABCP Conference 2025!

Did you know Apex Radio System is the leading provider of radio schemes across the UK? With 280 schemes being launched, we are contributing to the reduction of crime and anti-social behaviour every day. Our schemes allow users in the same area to be in instant communication with each other, as well as local police and CCTV control rooms.

We know the importance of providing extra protection to your staff, stock and customers, which is why our schemes have proven to:
🔹Reduce crime and anti-social behaviour
🔹Protect customers and staff, including lone workers
🔹Additional levels of security in local and regional shopping and hospitality areas
🔹Warn off potential criminals, with the equipment acting as a deterrent

Our schemes come ready to use and include: a two-way radio, battery, belt clip and charger. With an affordable monthly subscription, a Body-Worn Camera is also available, which increases staff safety and solutions during peak and busy times.

Apex prides ourselves on the partnerships we work with; our ShopWatch schemes work alongside local authorities, BIDs (Business Improvement Districts) and CRPs (Crime Reduction Programmes), which assist in combating theft and anti-social behaviour across the UK. We encourage shopping centres, retail parks, and hospitality venues to join our ShopWatch and PubWatch schemes and provide an instant communication solution, spreading awareness and keeping connected.

Don’t just take our word for it, Evelyn Hegarty from Scotland Police has commented, “ShopWatch was introduced to Edinburgh city centre in April 2025 and we have already seen early successes thanks to the use of Apex Radios. The radios provide a valuable line of instant communication between retailers, the police and the CCTV operations, and as a direct result of this, criminals have been swiftly apprehended by police, not just for retail crime, but also for threatening behaviour and an assault. Retail staff have expressed that being part of the scheme makes them feel more supported and safer at their work. Many retail staff have been verbally abused and threatened, so the peace of mind that carrying a small radio gives them is invaluable.”
