ACPO Regional Engagement Seminars - Business Crime

In partnership with the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), The Co-operative Group is organising a series of regional business crime seminars being held in September and October. These have been arranged in collaboration between the Home Office, Association of Police Authorities, ACPO and the wider business community. They will be high level strategic seminars, bringing together a range of members of these groups to promote a greater understanding of how they can work together more effectively. Given the financial pressures on businesses and forces it is especially important that effective consultation, communications and partnership arrangements are in place.
The seminars will examine engagement between partners at a neighbourhood, CDRP, Force and Regional level. They will have a strong regional emphasis and in particular will present examples of successful local business partnerships as well as national good practice.
