Disc Against Crime

Disc is the online information-sharing system that’s helping all kinds of communities reduce low-level crime and anti-social behaviour.


What is Disc?

Disc is a powerful, yet easy, way to share current-awareness information, view galleries of offenders, submit reports of incidents and react quickly to immediate safety or security threats.

It enables communities to manage exclusion or banning schemes efficiently, effectively and legally. Schemes like these are proven to reduce low-level crime and ASB across the communities they serve.

While each Disc system is autonomous, each can link with any other, creating powerful local, regional or national information-sharing networks.

Who is Disc for?

Disc can be configured to suit any group of individuals or organisations looking to reduce low-level crime and anti-social behaviour.

Across more than 550 UK towns and city-centres, local shopwatches, pubwatches and Business Improvement Districts use Disc. So too do security businesses as well as some of the country’s biggest shopping malls, sports venues and places of entertainment.

The success of Disc has led to police forces adopting the Disc Partnership Engagement Platform, not only to support the many Disc systems in their policing areas, but to better deliver some of their own crime reduction initiatives.

What our customers are saying

Disc is an excellent, efficient system that allows us to monitor issues at the touch of a button. We can process and share information with our scheme members instantly which is paramount in a resource-tight industry.

Jackie Roberts
Chesterfield Stopwatch

“I can’t tell you how much I love Disc, and the information it provides for my Levy-payers. They honestly love it! Especially when I sell it as the ‘Rogues Gallery’! But all joking aside, it will be one of the best moves you can make as a BCRP. A big thank you for all the support from Disc since I’ve taken over the system”

Steven Pankhurst
One Maidstone BID

We have to provide a cost-effective service to our membership and Disc is essential to that. It means that I can support the entire scheme – and build its membership – as well as maintain a constant two-way flow of information between our ever-growing membership and police. I simply couldn’t do it without Disc.

Steve Lindsay

We’ve had some great results through businesses being able to positively identify criminals in Disc. The instant messaging system means you can put an alert out to every member – great for getting BID members involved and not feeling left out anymore. From a police point of view, I absolutely recommend it.

Dave Crawford
Police Constable, Liverpool BID Company

We’ve had the BCRP for information-sharing for the best part of 10 years, and we’ve been using the Disc system for much of that time, providing a secure platform to share information on shoplifting and antisocial behaviour.

Pete Lambert
Guildford BID

Disc is so useful because we can collate data against specific offenders, so reports are easily
linked to the right individual. An offender may not be convicted for one shoplifting offence, or
for one instance of criminal damage – but if the police can see a build-up of multiple crimes,
together with details and dates, it all acts as evidence so we can build a case and get a
conviction.

Jeanne Meggs
North Notts BID

The DISC Platform provides the partnership and partners with a secure space to effectively focus our efforts on the matters most important to our members, ensuring intelligence and updates are shared in a compliant secure system in a timely fashion. The ease of reporting via the app and browser ensures community intelligence is captured and utilised for effective long-term management of risk offenders.

Rob Dyson
CityCo Manchester BCRP

Disc helps us share information in real time to prevent crimes from happening, and in slow time to build offender profiles so we can identify the most prolific offenders for police action. By using Disc, we are the only organisation holding the full local intelligence picture.

Sophie Jordan
G Safe

We find Disc a key part of what we do, and compared to other intelligence platforms, we like the ease of use for our members and how easy it is for us to share information across the county or individual areas. When we sign up or approach new members, it is a key selling point of the partnership.
