An exciting day for our ShopWatch team as they exhibit at the NABCP Conference 2025!
Did you know Apex Radio System leads the UK in delivering radio schemes? We have launched 280 schemes so far, and we continue to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour every day. Our schemes let users in the same area communicate instantly with each other, as well as with local police and CCTV control rooms.
🔹 Reduce crime and anti-social behaviour
🔹 Protect customers and staff, including lone workers
🔹 Strengthen security across local and regional shopping and hospitality areas
🔹 Deter potential criminals through visible, effective equipment
Our schemes arrive ready to use and include a two-way radio, battery, belt clip and charger. You can also add a Body-Worn Camera with an affordable monthly subscription to increase staff safety during peak and busy times.
Apex prides itself on the partnerships we build. Our ShopWatch schemes work alongside local authorities, BIDs (Business Improvement Districts) and CRPs (Crime Reduction Programmes), all helping to combat theft and anti-social behaviour across the UK. We encourage shopping centres, retail parks and hospitality venues to join our ShopWatch and PubWatch schemes to improve communication, raise awareness and stay connected.
Evelyn Hegarty from Scotland Police says, “ShopWatch launched in Edinburgh city centre in April 2025, and we have already seen early successes thanks to Apex Radios. The radios provide instant communication between retailers, the police and CCTV operations. As a direct result, police have swiftly apprehended criminals not only for retail crime but also for threatening behaviour and assault. Retail staff tell us that the scheme makes them feel more supported and safer at work. Many have faced verbal abuse and threats, so the peace of mind a small radio provides is invaluable.”
