Carmen Ceesay
Business Crime Reduction Partnership (BCRP) Manager
Contracted via SWL Security, our Retail Rangers support Bristol BID levy payers in dealing with anti-social issues and crime reduction. Working closely with the police and stores’ own security teams, they are fully committed to making the BID area a safer place to work, shop and socialise.
The team is comprised of four rangers who contribute 120 hours a week across areas of the city centre, including Broadmead, Redcliffe, and Park Street and Queen’s Road.
In 2025 to date, the rangers have recovered goods to the value of £33,941 as of 30 September 2025.
In 2024, the rangers recovered goods to the value of £67,125.
In 2023, the rangers recovered goods to the value of £37,686.
This is just one measurement of the great work the rangers do, with many more incidences of shoplifting completely prevented.
You can contact the Retail Rangers via email: BristolBidRanger@SwlSecurity.com or the security radio if you have one in your store.
