Recommendation 9
9
Paragraph: 57
Police guidance for retail workers insufficient to address perception of inaction on retail crime.
Recommendation
We welcome the guidance for retail workers on when to use emergency and non- emergency numbers when seeking a police response and, in particular, setting out risk factors which will help the police respond appropriately to incidents. However, we do not believe that two A4 pages of guidance is a sufficient response to tackle the damaging perception that the police “don’t care” about retail crime.
