The NABCP’s Sophie Jordan shares her story in this week’s episode…

As Chief Executive Officer of the National Association of Business Crime Partnerships (NABCP), Sophie Jordan knows exactly what it takes to bring together retailers, police, local authorities and communities… even when it feels a bit like herding cats!

As she explains in this week’s podcast, these local crime-prevention networks – run by passionate volunteers alongside paid staff – play a crucial role in reducing business crime and improving community safety. A passionate advocate for community-led crime reduction, Sophie champions these partnerships nationwide, pushing for greater recognition of their complex, far-reaching work and the impact they have on towns and cities across the UK.

In this episode, Sophie shares the story of her journey to becoming CEO, the biggest blockers BCRPs face in delivering their vital work, and why their work is more important than ever. She also talks about the NABCP’s first-ever National Awareness Week, the successes they’ve had so far, and the ambitions she’s setting for 2026 and beyond.

If you want to understand how collaborative crime prevention really works, or if you just want to hear how Sophie keeps all those “cats” moving in the same direction, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
