It’s #SaferBusinessActionWeek.

👮@CityPolice hosts the National Business Crime Centre, bringing police and businesses together across the country to tackle business crime.

In the Square Mile, hotspot policing has reduced business robbery and retail crime by 22%, while 31% of shoplifting offences result in arrest, charge or conviction, compared with a national average of 18.5%.

The future of justice in the Square Mile is taking shape at Salisbury Square.

Policy Chairman Chris Hayward and Courts Minister Sarah Sackman MP visited the site today to see progress on the landmark development, which is backed by more than £600 million of investment.

Once complete, Salisbury Square will provide 18 purpose-built courtrooms, a new state-of-the-art City of London Police headquarters, high-quality commercial space and improved public realm.

The development will boost the capacity of the justice system to tackle complex fraud, cyber and economic crime, helping reinforce the rule of law that underpins London's global competitiveness.

It's a significant investment in the City's long-standing role at the heart of law and justice, creating modern facilities that will serve London and the UK for generations to come.
