SHOPWATCH

ShopWatch Logo

The ShopWatch scheme is part of ESP (employer supported policing) and is a retail crime reduction programme that was pioneered by the MET in 2004. The scheme involves the retailer allowing a member of staff to be released but still paid to become a Special Constable. The member of staff is fully trained and, once attested, is released from the store one day every fortnight to carry out police duties in and around the stores general area.
