Welcome to Retail COP – Peel Regional Police has an innovative and efficient crime prevention tool designed to support businesses in Peel Region. Through strong partnerships between the Peel Regional Police Service and local business Asset Protection Officers, this program has been created with the aim of increasing arrest and prosecution rates for criminals targeting our businesses. Our primary goal is to empower Asset Protection Officers by equipping them with this valuable tool to identify criminals who pose a threat to our business community.
The Peel Regional Police Service is committed to serving our community of approximately 1.5 million residents, and we work tirelessly with our business and community partners to ensure the safety of our region. The Retail COP program serves as an additional resource for sharing important information with our community business partners.
This website is designed to provide support to Asset Protection Officers, enabling them to identify criminals who target our businesses. Additionally, it will assist the Peel Police Police Service in locating, identifying, and charging individuals responsible for Retail Thefts.
While shoplifting may appear trivial, its impact on the community and the market as a whole is significant. According to Canadian statistics, retail theft costs Canadians $4 billion annually.
By simply sharing information, we can enable the police, business owners, and Asset Protection Officers to recognize risks and take proactive measures to eliminate this problem. Together, we can work towards creating a safer and more secure business environment.
