We ask courts for criminal behaviour orders to be imposed on persistent shoplifters because the CBO's conditions can ban offenders from entering shops they target. Read more below. ⬇️ #ProtectingAndServingEssex

We look to limit the damage shoplifting can have on retail staff and the stores themselves by removing the root causes of offending. Find out how we can help your business, by visiting our #BusinessCrime pages at esxpol.uk/phym8 #ProtectingAndServingEssex

We work to break the cycle of addiction & crime by applying to the courts for criminal behaviour orders against persistent offenders, which ban them from stores they target. But we can only do this if we have evidence, so please report. #ProtecingAndServingEssex #BusinssCrime

We review every shoplifting arrest and apply to the courts for criminal behaviour orders which ban persistent offenders from the stores they target. CBOs can also include conditions to attend drug and alcohol treatment assessments. #ProtectingAndServingEssex
