# PABCIS: Partnerships Against Business Crime in Staffordshire
PABCIS is a specialist business crime reduction partnership operating across Staffordshire, with a strong presence in Stoke-on-Trent. The organisation represents an innovative approach to combating crime and disorder that directly impacts retail businesses and the night-time economy sector.
The partnership serves retail outlets, hospitality venues, and other businesses operating in town and city centres throughout Staffordshire. PABCIS operates through a network of local partnerships, each managed by dedicated Business Crime Reduction Partnership Managers who work directly with member businesses to address location-specific criminal activity and anti-social behaviour.
What distinguishes PABCIS is its dual commitment to corporate consistency and local accountability. Rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all approach, the organisation maintains strategic oversight whilst empowering local partnerships to tackle area-specific issues. The exclusion scheme—where banned individuals are excluded across all member businesses—creates a unified deterrent against offenders. Members gain access to real-time intelligence on local criminal activity, offender photographs and information through secure digital platforms, and participate in regular intelligence-sharing meetings.
The partnership facilitates practical collaboration between businesses, police, and local agencies through radio link schemes connecting retail and night-time venues with CCTV operators and law enforcement. Beyond enforcement, PABCIS delivers training, campaigns, initiatives, and advisory services to strengthen business resilience against crime.
