Post Office staff, whether from post offices or their cash in transit (CIT) fleet, ring Grapevine® direct and share their suspicions about people or vehicles or unusual activity with the Grapevine® team. Where suspicious activity requires other post offices and cash in transit crews in the area to be alerted, this is done immediately by text.

Shared intelligence helps to reduce crime and increases confidence.  The data helps to identify meaningful crime trends and informed predictions about criminal activity can be made. It warns post office staff about all the latest scams and how to avoid them. Criminals know no boundaries and they are active in banks, betting offices, high street stores, the Post Office or any premises where the transfer of money or goods provides an oppoortunity for fraud, theft or robbery.
