FAPAC is accredited by the National Association of Business Crime Reduction Partnerships and a signatory to the Kent and Medway Information Sharing Agreement.

We are registered with the Information Commissioners Office as processors of Confidential Personal Information. License No. ZA932230

We work in partnership with Kent Police, Folkestone and Hythe District Community Safety Unit: Folkestone Town Council CCTV: The ‘National Association of Business Crime Partnerships’ and our Members.

Our mission is to deliver a safe and secure environment where local people and visitors to the area can work and socialise free from the fear of crime and disorder.

Support Your Area Partnership Against Crime.

 Police and Public Services must prioritise their response to incidents reported to them. We can help ourselves when practicable but, when the police are needed, we will provide them with clear communication and evidence to bring criminals to justice.

We work to prevent crime and when required to present evidence to the police.

Membership benefits include

• A digital radio network connecting Members to Police, PCSO’s and the Town CCTV

   operating twenty four hours a day seven days a week.

• An interactive website regularly updated with local crime intelligence, images

   and alerts.

• An ‘App’ giving mobile access to the website. You can also use the App to make

   incident and intelligence reports which are quickly processed and added to the area

   intelligence profile by the coordinator.

• A monthly crime intelligence meeting.

• A scheduled weekly news-letter.

• An exclusion process banning serious and persistent offenders from all member   

   premises for 12 months at a time. The exclusion may be re started if the offender commits further

   crime during the exclusion period.

• Representation at the Community Safety Unit .

 

Membership Subscriptions are a business expense that should be

claimed on your business tax return.

The safety of yourself and your staff is priceless but catching or deterring offenders will quickly recoup your membership subscription.

Folkestone Area Partnership Against Crime Coordinator

Office: 01303 850 522  fapac.folkestone@gmail.com

The Scheme’s Data processor (The FAPAC Coordinator) is responsible for ensuring its compliance with current Data Protection law and can be contacted at the above address or telephone number.  The Scheme is registered with the Information Commissioners Office as a Crime Reduction Partnership. Registration Number:  ZA932230

Data Subjects processed

• Offenders: Individuals involved in crime and anti-social behaviour which may adversely affect the interests of Partnership members or the general public in Shepway including individuals who travel to or from the area and who may engage in crime and anti-social behaviour elsewhere.

Purpose of processing offender’s personal data

• Members of the Scheme have a right to protect their property, staff and customers from crime and anti-social behaviour and to exclude from their premises any individuals who they believe represent a threat to their property, customers, staff or the public or whom they wish to exclude for any other lawful reason. The Scheme processes Offenders’ personal data for the purpose of managing an Exclusion Scheme on behalf of its Members and discharging its constituted purpose as a “Partnership Against Crime”.
• The Scheme’s area of operation and its Exclusion Scheme extends across the District of Shepway whilst maintaining strong links with similarly constituted partnerships in Kent and Nationally through the National Association of Business Crime Partnerships.

Lawful Basis of Processing (Legitimate Interest) and balance of interests

• FAPAC  Members’ ‘legitimate interests’ provides the lawful basis on which it may process specific items of Offenders’ personal data for specific purposes without Offenders’ consent.
• FAPAC has assessed the impact of its processing on Offenders’ rights and freedoms, balanced them against its Members’ and the publics own rights and concluded that its Members’ and the publics rights prevail over Offenders’ rights in this specific matter.  This means that, for the purpose of managing an exclusion scheme, as well as ‘preventing and detecting’ crime, FAPAC’s primary ‘basis in law’ for processing Offenders’ personal data is ‘legitimate interests’ and therefore FAPAC can process Offenders’ personal data without requiring their consent.

Categories and types of personal data processed

Offenders:

• Offender’s name and facial image and any relevant information about the nature of his/her activities; the purpose of this processing is to enable Members to identify Offenders in order to submit reports about them, to include them in a list or gallery of excluded persons (if appropriate and in line with the Scheme’s Rules & Protocols), and to provide information / operational intelligence about them which may be necessary to protect the safety of Members, their staff, property, customers and the public.  This data may be shared among Members and other legitimately constituted BCRP’s or Partnership’s Against Crime.
• Offenders’ postal and email addresses, telephone number(s) and other contact details; the purpose of this processing is to enable the Scheme to communicate with Offenders from time to time. For example to send confirmation of exclusions, rules of the exclusion scheme, or confirmation that exclusions have expired.  Such data will not be shared with Members unless specifically requested for a lawful purpose such as making a crime report or instigating a civil recovery process.
• Offenders’ ethnicity; is special category data. We will process this only to enable accurate identification of offenders.
• Information and Intelligence about incidents in which an Offender has been involved; the purpose of this processing is (1) to enable FAPAC to defend its legal rights against any claim or suit by an Offender or other party.(2) To enable members to take effective countermeasures against actual or potential threats to them, their staff their property and the public represented by the data subject. (3) Such data will only be shared with FAPAC Members in addition to the Scheme’s Data Controller and Board of Management if it is necessary to achieve reason (2) above.
• No sensitive or ‘special category’ personal data (ethnicity, sexuality, religious beliefs etc) is processed by the Scheme.
