Priority:
Retail Crime. Shoplifting and offences against retailers within Epsom & Ewell.
Action taken:
The Epsom Safer Neighbourhood Team has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards retail crime across the Borough, resulting in a significant reduction of local offenders within the Town Centre. This approach includes:
• Immediate investigation of known offenders by the Safer Neighbourhood Team, leading faster arrests and allowing response units to focus elsewhere.
• Direct collaboration with stores and remote CCTV providers, which has enabled arrests even before stores have reported incidents.
• Increased presence of both high-visibility and covert officers patrolling the area.
• Joint funding with Epsom BID to provide private security within the Town Centre.
• Partnership with support agencies to engage offenders who may be coerced into offending, aiming to prevent repeat crimes.
• All stores have access to the ‘DISC’ system for improved information sharing, crime reporting, and management of known offenders. Anyone caught stealing from one store will be banned from the entire Town.
• We will relentlessly pursue persistent offenders, thorough investigation of hidden or unreported crimes, and the use of custody time to charge and remand offenders rather than granting bail.
• Use of the Anti-Social Behaviour Legislation to prevent offenders coming to the area.Work with retailers to deter offenders and improve the security of stores.
