The Auror retail crime intelligence platform enables swift incident reporting, offender identification and seamless police collaboration.
The introduction of Reveal body worn cameras follows a successful pilot in 2023 which trialled the technology in bp’s UK company owned stores.
bp has announced it is continuing to invest in the security of its retail team members by rolling out the Auror retail crime intelligence platform across its ~300 company-owned stores and is implementing Reveal body worn cameras at stores experiencing higher levels of abuse and crime.
These initiatives are part of bp’s approach to keeping colleagues and customers safe by increasing its capabilities to gather and share relevant intelligence on retail crime with local police and other retailers, as well as implementing store hardening measures and introducing some of the latest advancements in technology to combat retail crime effectively.
Auror is being adopted by all of bp’s ~300 company-owned stores over the coming months. It is widely recognised as an industry-leading tool to help reduce verbal abuse incidents and tackle retail crime through enabling swift incident reporting, identification of repeat offenders, seamless collaboration with law enforcement, and real-time alerts on local criminal activities.
The further rollout of Reveal body cameras to bp’s network follows a successful pilot in 2023, when they were tested at eight company-owned stores in the UK facing high levels of verbal abuse. The introduction of the cameras resulted in a decrease in verbal abuse incidents, and collaboration with the local police produced positive results, with several instances of customers apologising for their behaviour as a direct result of seeing their action on the front-facing screens of the Reveal body worn cameras. The body worn cameras are currently in use at 70 company-owned stores across the UK and are being rolled out at pace to more stores with high rates of incidents.
