WHAT IS THE PCC CANDIDATES PLEDGE?
On May 2nd, 37 areas across England and Wales will elect a Police and Crime Commissioner. We are asking PCC Candidates to pledge to #GetToughOnRetailCrime. This follows our 2024 Crime Survey which revealed a surge in abuse, threats and violence against retail workers as well as an 'epidemic' of shoplifting. This is why we arecalling upon candidates to commit to three pledges that would support the fight against retail crime.
THE PLEDGE
As part of its #GetToughOnRetailCrime campaign, the British Retail Consortium (BRC) calls on PCCs to commit to the following:
PCC Candidates pledge to ...
- Make retail crime a priority in Police and Crime Plans.
- Work with other policing stakeholders to ensure data on the use of the standalone offence is tracked and acted on.
- Allocate necessary resources for tackling retail crime in their region.
If you wish to join the #GetToughOnRetailCrime campaign, print off the attached poster and take a photo for social media using the #GetToughOnRetailCrime hashtag.
