Welcome to Bradford City Centre Beat

City Centre Beat was originally formed in 1992. In 2006 the Partnership was developed and formalised into an organisation for the benefit of the members of the business community including both the daytime and night-time economies.

The aims of the Partnership are to reduce crime and disorder and reduce the fear of crime.

The Partnership is based in the Kirkgate Shopping Centre at the heart of the business community where intelligence is distributed and shared by the Members of the Partnership, Bradford Council and West Yorkshire Police. An enhanced radio-linked communication system provides instant access to Bradford's CCTV Control Room, other Members and to policing staff. The office is staffed by full-time Managers, a Crime Intelligence Coordinator and a police contact point police community support officer.

Member benefits include:

  • Photo albums of prolific problem criminals
  • Access to the ccb intranet system
  • Regular crime briefings
  • Access to the radio link system
  • Exclusion notice scheme for criminals
  • Training and best practise advice on all crime matters
