Essential Edinburgh’s CHECK OUT scheme continues to lead the way with its innovative approach to tackling retail crime in the city centre.
Coordinated sharing of information between retailers and Police Scotland help make the BID an unappealing option for shoplifting.
In 2023 we relaunched the scheme with a new and improved interface for users, a streamlined circulation process for faster alerts, and new 24/7 operating hours.
Membership is FREE to Essential Edinburgh levy-paying businesses. Non levy-paying businesses within the Check Out operational area (see below) can join for just £150 +VAT per annum.

As a member of CHECK OUT, you will become part of a team working towards reducing crime and send out a strong message to those thinking about committing crime in the city centre.
