Chester - Safer City

Chester Against Business Crime (CABC) is a partnership between the local business community, the local authority and Cheshire Police operating within Chester Renaissance.

It has Data Protection registration (Z8875954), and professional indemnity insurance cover. Its function is to work with its partners to attempt to combat all aspects of crime and anti-social behaviour in Chester.

It has a Scheme Manager to administer the existing scheme, develop new ones and assist in transferring the initiative into the wider business community of the City and beyond.

Chester is a very safe place to live work and visit; this is due to the way in which Cheshire police works closely with us and its partners in the City. CABC has over 180 members, all working together to keep Chester safe. This will encourage investment and enable businesses to prosper, thus attracting more visitors to our beautiful City.
