Working together in partnership
Safer Business Hounslow is a not-for-profit crime reduction partnership which brings together retailers, licensed premises and other businesses, alongside key stakeholders such as the council, CCTV operators and local police.
“I have now been working in the Hounslow Borough since 2015 and one of the first things I implemented was joining the Hounslow radio scheme. The radio link allows managers to have peace of mind with the ability to understand issues that are currently happening in the town and act proactively as all the businesses can hear information being shared.
As the radio link is directly linked to the town centre CCTV system they can use the link at anytime to report anything suspicious in the local area but have the reassurance that any situation is being monitored, with the CCTV operator relaying live incidents to the police.”

We share the aim of reducing the effects of crime on our businesses and work together to make our town centres safer for our customers and staff - and to deter offenders. With more than 60 members the partnership is set to grow across the borough, with plans to extend the scheme to Feltham, Chiswick, Brentford and Isleworth.
“With ongoing investment in Hounslow town centre it’s vital we provide a safe and secure environment.”
