CABC is a Business Crime Reduction Partnership (BCRP) hosted and administratively supported by FOR Cardiff, the Business Improvement District (BID) for Cardiff city centre. All FOR Cardiff levy payers have the option to join CABC at no cost. Citynet radio subscribers who are not BID levy payers also have the option to join CABC at no cost.

If a business is not a levy payer and does not have a CityNet Radio subscription then they can join CABC for £150 + VAT a year. (This is a tax-deductible business expense). To join, please contact us expressing your interest and we will be in touch.

The benefits of CABC membership include:

• A network of like-minded businesses dedicated to the safety and security of their staff, customers and property.
• Regular updates from partners including but not limited to South Wales Police, the City Centre Wardens and FOR Cardiff.
• In-person CABC partnership meetings with updates from partners and discussion/information-sharing between members.
• Access to key resources and contacts.

CABC covers the BID area of Cardiff city centre, you can view a map here.

Membership options for those outside the city centre include advice and support and the opportunity to have representation on the BCRP Board of Management. Please contact us to discuss.

CityNet is the CABC public safety radio network that operates in Cardiff City Centre. A police officer based in the CCTV control room monitors the radio channel (although calling the control room is not an alternative to calling 999 for emergency assistance).

At present we have over 250 users across the day and night time economies. Users can contact each other, the police operator, security teams around the city centre, and the Wardens on a secure digital channel.

CityNet is supported by our delivery partners M.R.S. Communications and the subscription is £5+VAT per week. Please get in touch if you would like more information.

The CityNet Radios are simple to use and are supplied with a user handbook. The handbook can also be requested by contacting us.

FOR Cardiff raise and send out invoices for payment.

Radios required for short-term hire, to make a business case or for events, can be discussed with the CityNet M.R.S. account manager. Please get in touch to be connected with them.
