KENT POLICE

Kent Police is pleased to be a corporate supporter of

Action Against Business Crime. Working closely with AABC, Kent is the first police force in the country to have established business crime reduction partnerships throughout its area.

Kent has a proud track record in cutting crimes such as burglary and car crime. It also knows the impact crime can have on business in the county and actively supports the development of business crime reduction partnerships to tackle local problems during the working day and at night, when people socialise. This is why it set up the Kent and Medway Business Crime Initiative, enabling partners to use the National Business Information System to share accurate and timely information. Kent Police believes that business crime reduction partnerships are a productive way of working with the business sector to help reduce crime, anti-social behaviour and other incidents.

Kent Police serves the county of Kent, with a population of 1.5 million, and is one of the largest forces in the country with around 5,500 staff. It is committed to ensuring the county remains one of the safest in the country, with low levels of crime and anti-social behaviour.
