UK-PAC Police teams are already making a difference thanks to new systems in place which allow shops to share information directly with officers and each other. Police want to spread the word that shoplifters are not welcome in our towns and cities and are urging retail staff to report incidents when they happen. The UK-PAC platform (app) is available in Torbay thanks to OPCC funding and also and other parts of Devon and Cornwall such as Saltash, Looe and Torpoint. Businesses are encouraged to sign up and some free membership pilots have been available.
