Decreased crime rate through successful cooperation<br />

In the Netherlands, a successful cooperation between public<br />

authorities and private business partners has reduced crime by<br />

50 to 80 percent in certain areas, and cargo thefts by even more<br />

– 95 percent. The cooperation is being carried out through the<br />

CrimiNee! Foundation. CrimiNee! and Securitas have jointly<br />

initiated the development of a new security concept where the<br />

police and private security companies share information in order to<br />

make investigative work and call-outs more efficient. Information<br />

from intelligent surveillance cameras and detection technology<br />

is monitored by security officers from Securitas under the control<br />

of the police at a shared monitoring center.<br />

The CrimiNee! initiative includes programs for safe industrial<br />

parks, inner cities, shopping centers, truck stops and parking<br />

spaces. Advanced data analysis technology is used to interpret<br />

images and a mobile patrol can be dispatched quickly if crimes<br />

are detected. With clearly defined roles and close cooperation,<br />

the benefits are many. Costs are reduced for both customers and<br />

authorities, while the solution has increased efficiency and substantially<br />

reduced crime rates.<br />
