The Fed encourages Scottish Members to Engage with Retail Crime Taskforce

The Fed is encouraging Scottish members and retailers to engage with the services provided by Police Scotland’s Retail Crime Taskforce, following the news that its resourcing had been extended for another three years following lobbying by the Fed. The Fed views this as a positive step, given the spectre of rising retail crime in Scotland – similar to that in the rest of the UK and Ireland.

Meanwhile, the Fed is encouraging Scottish members to participate in the Taskforce’s survey which is running until Friday 20th February: https://consult.scotland.police.uk/surveys/e919d7ee/

• Conducting Crime Prevention Surveys
• Links with local community police officers
• Leaflets and information
• Support on conflict resolution
