Safe Retail Precincts
Creating vibrant retail precincts through shared intelligence, collaboration and vigilance.
The National Retail Association (NRA) is seeking to bring together retailers, shopping centres, law enforcement, emergency services and government to create safer, more vibrant retail precincts through the Safe Retail Precincts initiative.
The modern world presents new challenges every day and unfortunately the threat of dangerous or serious events, such as armed attacks or severe weather events, is ever-increasing.
Retail precincts are environments in which large crowds gather and we all have a responsibility to be aware, prepared and vigilant to ensure our retail precincts remain safe, vibrant spaces.
