Disc SC – Smarter, Segmented Crime Reduction Data Management

Maximise engagement, relevance and compliance across multiple crime reduction schemes – all in one powerful Disc system

As crime reduction partnerships and business communities grow, so too does the complexity of the challenges they face. Whether you’re running multiple Shopwatch and Pubwatch schemes, managing business crime across a county, or supporting a national retail network – Disc SC is built for you.

Disc SC (for Segregated Content) empowers larger partnerships and organisations to share relevant intelligence, alerts and offender data with the right people, at the right time, while maintaining full compliance with data protection regulations and information sharing agreements.

Disc SC is a powerful evolution of the standard Disc platform. It allows a single Disc system to support multiple distinct schemes—each with its own members, content, and offender data.

This ensures that members only see information that’s relevant and appropriate to them – whether that’s based on sector, location, or operational area.

Rather than juggling multiple separate Disc systems, partnerships can now manage everything in one place—saving time, reducing costs, and keeping control.

Who is Disc SC for?

Disc SC is ideal for:

  • Police-supported schemes that need to control how intelligence is shared and with whom
  • Business Crime Reduction Partnerships (BCRPs) managing separate day-time and night-time schemes
  • Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) communicating with a broad base of levy-payers
  • Major shopping centres or retail multiples with operations across regions or nationally
  • Town-centre managers supporting diverse communities like retailers, licensees, hoteliers, travel providers and more

Why Segregated Content Matters

When everyone sees everything, engagement drops, and compliance risks rise. Disc SC fixes that.

  • Improves engagement by delivering only the most relevant content to each member
  • Enhances compliance with GDPR and police ISAs by ensuring personal data is shared appropriately
  • Supports multiple schemes like Shopwatch, Pubwatch, Hotelwatch, Betwatch, Travelwatch, rural schemes and others, all in one place
  • Extends reach by allowing expansion into nearby towns or across an entire county
  • Simplifies communication with tailored e-newsletters, news, alerts and ID-soughts for each group

Whether you’re supporting 50 members or 500, keeping content focused is the key to participation—and impact.

A town-centre partnership using Disc SC runs separate schemes for:

  • Retailers (Shopwatch)
  • Hospitality venues (Pubwatch)
  • Private accommodation providers (Hotelwatch)
  • Transport operators (Travelwatch)
  • ASB (All Levy-Payers)

Each group receives the alerts, documents and ID-soughts that matter to them – nothing more, nothing less.

Meanwhile, the partnership can communicate with all groups easily when needed, including the entire levy-payer base, promoting events, updates on BID activities, and sharing information about antisocial behaviour or prolific offenders affecting the area at large.

Better Communications for BIDs

For Business Improvement Districts, Disc SC isn’t just a crime reduction platform—it’s a complete communications solution.

Even if only a portion of your levy-payers are involved in Shopwatch or Pubwatch, Disc SC lets you reach everyone with important updates. From BID project news to safety information, event promotion to community alerts—Disc becomes your go-to engagement hub.

Whether you’re just starting with Disc or already running multiple systems, transitioning to Disc SC is simple.

  • New customers can choose Disc SC right from the start.
  • Existing Disc users can upgrade to SC and bring over existing member and offender data.
  • Multi-system customers can consolidate into one Disc SC system with support from the Disc Customer Team.

For more complex migrations, a small one-time fee may apply, but for most users, it’s a quick, guided transition.
