The British Association of Removers (BAR) North West Region has become the latest members of the Lancashire Constabulary Partnership Against Crime (LANPAC), joining many blue chip companies in supporting LANPAC.

LANPAC is a not for profit third sector organisation who work in partnership with private, public and voluntary sectors to provide financial support to projects aimed at reducing crime and increasing public confidence in Lancashire.

The Preston Police headquarters was the venue for a recent BAR North West meeting, where the decision was made to become a supporting member of LANPAC.  Benefits to BAR North West include regular informative emails with up to date business advice, invitations to seminars including crime prevention and community safety themed conferences and meetings, and free use of Constabulary meeting rooms. 100% of the membership fee paid goes towards making a real and practical contribution to crime reduction and prosperity in the communities where BAR North West does business.

Over the last 13 years, police officers in Lancashire have been awarded £1,271,000 from LANPAC to support a host of projects, which has resulted in four times that amount being raised from other agencies. This support from businesses and organisations has assisted the constabulary to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in Lancashire.
