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 />
