Manchester BCRP

CityCo and Manchester City BID have a unique position at the heart of the city centre: at the intersection of business sectors, public agencies, delivery partners and operational suppliers. This means we are always in the loop and know who to talk to. We can help you stay up to date with the latest tactical and training knowledge.

We assist members with the tactical challenges and opportunities of running a business in Manchester city centre. We pre-empt and provide support across issues that can affect successful operation.

Manchester Business Crime Reduction Partnership

Manchester BCRP helps to create a safe environment for businesses, their employees, clients, and customers. The team reports business-related crime in partnership with Greater Manchester Police and Manchester City Council licensing and anti-social behaviour teams.

  • Secure access to Store/NiteNet security radio networks, linked to the city’s CCTV control room.
  • Membership of Manchester’s Civil Exclusion Scheme (sector-specific).
  • Supply of real-time security intelligence.
  • Notifications of city centre protests and emergency security alerts.
  • Invitations to monthly intelligence briefings on emerging issues, with guest speakers.
  • Invitations to city centre security briefings.
  • Invitations to expert training on crime prevention, anti-terrorism awareness, reducing loss from theft, combatting credit card fraud, how to deal with counterfeit currency, and conflict management.
