The Norwich Business Improvement District hosted its annual Business Crime Conference at The Forum in Norwich, Norfolk, on 10 March 2026. The event gave local shopkeepers and city-centre business owners a direct opportunity to get expert advice on preventing crime and to meet with local police and security professionals.
Attendees focused on ways to improve safety for staff and customers during their daily business activities. The conference is a key part of the ALERT scheme, which helps businesses, security staff, and the Norfolk Constabulary work together to handle retail theft and anti-social behaviour.
While this large conference takes place once a year, the Norwich Business Crime Forum meets every month to share information and updates among the local business community. These regular meetings ensure that city traders stay informed about local crime trends and safety measures throughout the year.
