State Chairman, Jan Dunsby, advises that a Business Crime Forum for all business owners will be held on Wednesday 22 July, 6.00pm for 6.30pm at Hotel Grand Chancellor, 29 Cameron Street, Launceston.

Commander Brett Smith will address statewide business crime trends and current strategies of Tasmania Police to reduce crime.
Inspector John King will advise of current trends in the Northern District, including, what (money) where (suburbs) when (time of night/day of week trends) how (entry, kind of damage, equipment used) why and who. He will also advise on forensic requirements to help Police in their investigations, as well as provide prevention advice.
