BCRP National Standards
The BCRP National Standards provide a single reference for "what good looks like" in order to give reassurance to business members, police and other stakeholders.
Nationally, businesses invest considerable amounts into BCRPs and we want to encourage continued and further investment. Business leaders need to be made aware of the value for money that good partnerships provide.
BCRPs report that different police forces engage with them to varying degrees and the accreditation aims to promote better working between police and partnerships. By demonstrating that accredited partnerships meet the national standard police forces will be more confident to ‘dare to share’ information and act on the information they receive from BCRPs fostering a culture of collaborative working.

Benefits of National Standard Accredited BCRPs and BIDs
A BCRP’s entire objective is to prevent business crime and create a safer environment for those who live, work and socialise in the community that the BCRP was set up to serve, through intelligence sharing, live communication, partnership working and project work to address specific crime prevention needs in each individual area. BCRPs are funded by small contributions of membership subscriptions from the businesses who subscribe to the service. Every aspect of the work of a BCRP is examined in the National Standard Accreditation. Find out more about the benefits and value of working with accredited BCRPs and BIDs:

How do I arrange for assessment against BCRP National Standards?
The NABCP is the assessing organisation for the BCRP National Standards Accreditation, the gold standard for Business Crime Reduction Partnership work.
Achieving the standard elevates BCRPs above and beyond other crime prevention and data sharing initiatives, by demonstrating effectiveness in delivering wider benefits to the local business community, partnership working, and more, whilst providing assurance of compliance, effectiveness and return on investment.
BCRPs are required to evidence 5 key aspects of how their work conforms to the BCRP national standard model – Governance; Benefits, Aims & Objectives; Communications; Systems & Protocols; Data Integrity.
