NBCC confirms dates for the 2026 week of action to target business crime
The National Business Crime Centre (NBCC) has confirmed that the 2026 Safer Business Action (SaBA) Week will take place week commencing Monday November 9th as part of the ongoing police and partnership response to tackling retail crime, Anti-social behaviour and other crimes impacting businesses in local communities.
Last year the SaBA Week resulted in over 1100 arrests across the country. Police and partners held over 160 days of activity involving more than 4,200 police officers and PCSOs.
The week of action will see Business Crime Reductions Partnerships (BCRPs), Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) and the private security industry working together to tackle prolific offenders, offer crime prevention advice and carry out joint patrols.
Supt Lisa Maslen, lead for the NBCC said: “The NBCC Week of Action continues to be a key moment in the calendar for policing, partners, and the wider business community. Last year delivered strong outcomes, not only in terms of arrests and convictions, but also through strengthening long-term relationships and trust with local businesses. With every police force across the country taking part, we are confident this year will see the same level of dedication and support once again.”
Businesses trading on high streets and town centres are also encouraged to get involved and display the ShopKind messaging in their stores. All the ShopKind materials are free to down here.
The NBCC social media channels on LinkedIn and Twitter will have updates of the activity taking place throughout the week.
