Working in close partnership with the Metropolitan Police, Croydon Council and other local services, the team contributes directly to improving safety and tackling on-street issues.
In 2024–25, the Croydon BID Street Ranger team:
- Completed 6,338 additional patrol hours
- Carried out 13,964 business visits
- Responded to 596 incidents, generating 234 pieces of intelligence
- Recovered at least £25,000 in stolen stock
- Undertook 388 welfare checks with vulnerable individuals
From supporting local businesses and recovering stolen goods to addressing anti-social behaviour and conducting welfare checks, the Street Rangers provide a valued service in the town centre. Their direct connection to businesses through the Croydon BID Radio Link also ensures quick response times when issues arise.
The ATCM’s Best Safety, Security and Resilience Scheme category highlights town centre schemes that support public safety – from reducing shop theft to improving community resilience. Winners will be announced at the ATCM Annual Conference later this year.
