Retail Crime Taskforce Impact and Engagement Survey
In December 2024, following a notable rise in Retail Crime across the country, the Scottish Government allocated an extra £3 million to Police Scotland, as a revenue spend for the financial year 2025/2026, to assist in tackling the issue and provide specific focus on the Retail Sector. This resulted in the establishment of Police Scotland’s Retail Crime Taskforce.
Significant work has been undertaken by the team and the Taskforce are keen to engage with the Retail Sector to evaluate the understanding, engagement and impact of Taskforce Activity.
The results of the Impact and Engagement survey will inform the future activities of the Taskforce. They will also be utilised as part of Police Scotland’s internal reporting processes and partnership communications.
The findings of the survey will be shared with the Retail Sector in a subsequent edition of the Taskforce’s Retailer Bulletin.
The survey opened today (2nd Feb) and will close on 20th February.
