Safer Stratford

Safety remains our number one priority. A safer Stratford for our businesses, residents and visitors is the foundation of a successful Stratford. Here are some of our key initatives.

Our Ambassador

Our ambassador Michael, carries out regular patrols, reports issues, works with partnership agencies and liaises with all our businesses day in day out. This bespoke support to Stratford businesses includes delivering our printed newsletter, supporting businesses with enquiries, anti-social behaviour concerns and more.

Safer Stratford Business Crime Reduction Partnership

The Safer Stratford Business Crime Reduction Partnership (BCRP), is our local partnership which made it easier and faster to report crime, share intelligence and tackle prolific offenders. Through the partnership you can access the Alert! platform to report crimes, see prolific offenders in the area and connect with your neighbours.

Intelligence Sharing

In partnership with Safer Stratford BCRP we host bi-weekly briefings to share up-to-date intelligence on crimes in the area and monthly patrols to report public realm issues.

Strong relationship with Town Centre Police Team

Everyone’s safety remains our paramount priority. We continue to deliver effective solutions to make Stratford an even safer place and work closely with the Stratford Town Centre Police Team.

Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls

We are working to create a safer public environment for all women and girls. We support initiatives that tackle violence against women and girls (VAWG) by working with key partners and are signatures on the Women’s Night Safety Charter.

Training and Support

With business crime always evolving, we continue to provide businesses with the latest information and support through regular meetings, briefings, training and one-to-one advice. Members can access free training on Ask for Angela and WAVE through the bid.
