Title: Crime Reduction Toolkit for Service Stations

Summary: Today’s service stations do much more than just sell petrol to motorists. They are an important neighbourhood asset providing a wide range of goods and services both during and outside normal shop opening hours. Oil companies, petrol retailers and police forces alike are clamping down on criminal activity on UK forecourts. This determination to prevent the activities of lawless individuals, coupled with advances in technology and changes in criminal legislation means that there is no better time to introduce practical measures to address crime, identify the criminals and continue to make service stations safer places for both staff and customers. Key in the fight against service station crime are the various BOSS Forecourt Watch schemes. Forecourt Watch initiatives operate in over 70 areas across the UK. Under these schemes BOSS, the British Oil Security Syndicate works in partnership with petrol retailers, local police forces and other agencies to reduce crime and the fear of crime. Many Forecourt Watch schemes during recent times have seen service station crime tumble by more than 50%. Following on from these successes similar force-wide schemes are now being planned by the majority of forces in the UK. This toolkit has been produced by Durham Constabulary in partnership with BOSS, and takes cognisance of successful initiatives employed by police forces and private retailers in combating service station crime. It offers a menu of practical measures, which can be tailored to meet individual service station crime problems. Through use of the toolkit and increased partnership working we can look forward to targeting further reductions in crime on Britain’s network of petrol service stations.
