What is a Shopwatch Scheme?

A Shopwatch Scheme is a network of businesses, from a town centre and outlying areas, linked together by a two-way radio network as well as to the police and CCTV operators.

Its purpose is to deter and ultimately assist with the prevention of antisocial behaviour within our public spaces and as well as increasing personal safety and confidence amongst its members who many include retailers.

Shopwatch radios have proved invaluable, allowing a quick method of alerting retailers and services in the scheme to the activities of would-be shoplifters. Improved communications through the use of a two way radio system promotes co-operation among retailers and their staff within the scheme.

Shopwatch schemes usually have a fixed monthly cost for its their members with typically same-day service from their dealers. To find the nearest Icom Shopwatch or Pubwatch dealer, contact us on 01227 741741 or email sales@icomuk.co.uk.
