A new Shop Watch initiative has been organised by PCSO Kim Jewitt-Holder from the Bridlington Neighbourhood Policing Team, aimed at enhancing security for local retailers.
The event is scheduled for 29th October 2025 at 5pm, taking place at the Promenades Shopping Centre in Bridlington.
Said Kim: “As the dedicated town centre PCSO, I will be leading the discussion on the implementation of the DISC (Deterring Incidents of Shoplifting Campaign), which has seen a decline in activity recently.
“Our goal is to reinvigorate this programme to its full potential, particularly as we approach the busy Christmas shopping period. The initiative will focus on raising awareness of local shoplifters and ultimately reducing theft in the area.”
Additionally, the event will cover various strategies, including our collaboration with the Apex Shop Link Radio, improvements in shop layouts, staffing considerations, and more.
Retailers will also have the opportunity to voice any concerns they may have and suggest additional support they require from the police.
