St Peters Quarter and Cathedral Quarter BIDs are delighted to announce the launch of a new collaboration with the Derbyshire Business Crime Reduction Partnership (DBCRP), providing levy-paying businesses with access to the county-wide scheme.
The DBCRP is a crime reduction scheme which makes it easier for businesses to work together to reduce crime and ASB.
Key benefits for levy payers include access to the DISC system (more on this below) which gives businesses the ability to share intel, report incidents to the Police via the app, view offender photo galleries, and to receive crime alerts and newsletters.
Introducing DISC
Businesses who sign up to the DBCRP scheme will have access to the ‘DISC’ app, which can be accessed via mobile phones or desktops.
DISC enables businesses to share intel and report ‘low level’ offences direct to the Police via a single easy to use and GDPR-compliant platform.
