The Bensalem Secure Theft Reduction Task Force is a partnership among the Bensalem Economic Development Corporation, Mayor Joseph DiGirolamo’s Office, the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office, and the Bensalem Police Department.
The initiative was designed to address both external retail theft and internal business theft through a combination of education, technology, reporting resources, information and intelligence sharing, and enforcement.
Bensalem Police said that retail theft remains an ongoing challenge nationwide, but local businesses have become increasingly engaged in prevention efforts.
“Strong partnerships with our business community have allowed us to identify trends faster, respond more effectively, and hold offenders accountable,” said William McVey, Bensalem Director of Public Safety. “The reduction in theft incidents, combined with our high clearance rate, shows that a proactive and collaborative approach can produce meaningful results.”
