Operations Community |
In a period of squeezed margins and pressures on police resources, managing crime and security - primarily violence and abuse against staff - becomes ever more challenging.
The Operations Community leads the BRC’s work on crime and security, with members working together and with the Government and leading experts to better understand and resolve the key crime issues facing the industry.
