Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts met business owners, retailers and key partners across Derbyshire to hear directly about the impact of crime and anti-social behaviour on local livelihoods and national retailers. 

The Derbyshire PCC undertook an action-packed programme of visits to mark Safer Business Action (SaBA) Week and highlight the important partnership work underway to protect businesses, retailers and their staff from crime. 

The annual awareness week, which ran from October 14 to 18, is organised by the National Business Crime Centre and is an opportunity to shine a spotlight on the issues impacting businesses and the retail sector and the innovative ways these problems are being addressed. 

PCC Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts said: “I have spent several months listening to businesses and retailers about the issues that threaten their livelihoods and the safety of their employees.  I know how damaging and challenging these problems are on productivity and morale and the fear they cause staff who deserve to feel safe and protected at work. It is unacceptable and I will continue to work with all partners, including retailers themselves, to provide the robust and effective response they deserve.
