The Scottish Police Authority is hosting a series of knowledge exchange events over 2025/26, including webinars and in-person roundtables/conferences, covering a range of thematic and topical policing issues.

This is the Authority's second topical webinar held on 10th October 2025 on the theme of retail crime. This webinar looked at what we know about retail crime in terms of both current data trends and its strategic positioning within the partnership landscape. While the focus was primarily on Scotland, attendees also explored common academic research and retail crime themes across England and Wales.
