REQUEST A DEMO

Disc is the UK’s leading online information-sharing platform for tackling low-level crime and anti-social behaviour (ASB). Trusted by over 550 towns and city centres, and used by Business Crime Reduction Partnerships, BIDs, police forces, shopping centres, sporting venues and rural schemes, Disc brings communities together to manage offenders, share intelligence and improve safety.

What sets Disc apart is the breadth and depth of its features—all designed to make crime reduction smarter, more efficient, and fully compliant with UK data protection laws.

Configurable for Every Community

Whether you’re a Shopwatch, Pubwatch, BID, Shopping Centre, Retail Park, Security Company or a national retailer, Disc can be tailored to fit your structure and priorities. Administrators can configure offender categories, user groups, ID galleries, messaging, branding, and more—to create a system that works for your specific needs.

Fast, Simple Incident Reporting

Disc makes it easy to report incidents with just a few taps—on mobile or desktop. Features like voice-to-text, photo uploads, and user-friendly forms mean reports take seconds, not minutes to complete. And where enabled, users can escalate incidents directly to the police.

Effective Offender Management

Keep track of offenders, manage exclusion schemes, and stay compliant with data protection laws.

Key tools include:

  • Automatic management of exclusion expiry dates
  • Configurable, automated data deletion (e.g., 12 months after last update)
  • One-click generation of reports for police or CPS
  • Mugshot galleries and ID-sought tools to aid identification

Cross-System Collaboration

Disc allows secure, GDPR-compliant information sharing between different Disc systems—at no extra cost.

With one click, users can:

  • Publish news, alerts, and ID-soughts across systems
  • Search for prolific, travelling offenders
  • Collaborate across towns, counties, and police force areas

Engagement Tools that Keep Members Informed

Disc includes built-in tools that bring users back again and again:

  • Automated weekly eNewsletter, sent to every user
  • Instant Messaging system for urgent alerts and coordination
  • “Latest Additions” view in the App to highlight new reports or intel

These features keep members informed, involved, and aware – making your scheme more effective.

Custom News & Document Sharing

Share everything from local crime trends to BID updates, public safety news, and event notices. Administrators can publish content tailored to each user group—ensuring relevance and avoiding information overload.

Compliant by Design

Disc is built to align with the Data Protection Act 2018 and GDPR from the ground up.
Compliance features include:

  • Automated data expiry and deletion of Subjects and Incidents
  • Self-certification and re-certification by users
  • Admin control over access levels and permissions
  • Full audit trails for all actions taken

Disc helps you meet your legal obligations with confidence.

Admin Centre with Analytics

Disc’s intuitive Admin Centre makes it easy to:

  • Track system usage with built-in performance metrics and dashboards
  • Assign full or partial admin rights as needed

Integrated Public Realm Reporting

Disc lets users report environmental or safety issues—fly-tipping, graffiti, broken lighting, etc.—and track their resolution. It’s a simple but powerful way to support cleaner, safer streets, and engage members beyond just crime reduction.
