Press Release 13 January 2021 Mitie teams up with Crimestoppers to help keep communities safe Mitie Security has partnered with the charity Crimestoppers to help keep communities safe across the UK by encouraging anonymous crime reportingThe partnership is the first of its kind, with Mitie sharing anonymous data on criminal behaviour to create incident reports to support police investigationsWith crime affecting businesses, families and communities in the UK countryside, the initiative will start by focusing on rural crime by creating a dedicated cross-industry Steering Committee Mitie Security has teamed up with the independent charity Crimestoppers in an innovative new partnership to help keep communities and businesses safe from crime and wrongdoing across the UK. The agreement will see the organisations working together to share information on criminal behaviour gathered by businesses, which can feed into police investigations. Mitie is the first security company to form such a partnership with Crimestoppers, demonstrating its commitment to bridging the gap between the public and private sectors to help keep people, customers and communities safe. Crimestoppers charity encourages people and organisations to anonymously share information that helps prevent and solve crime. As well as receiving information from members of the public, Crimestoppers also works with a number of private and public sector organisations, including businesses, trusts and foundations, on public awareness campaigns. This new partnership with Mitie will be the first time the charity has worked with a security organisation to tackle crime and keep communities safe. With Mitie Security having hundreds of customers spanning every sector, this collaboration will also help create new relationships between Crimestoppers and businesses that have not worked together before. With the partnership focused on thought leadership and knowledge sharing, Mitie will use its suite of technology solutions and work closely with its clients to bring together relevant anonymous data on criminal behaviour to create incident reports. This evidence will then be shared with local police forces to support their investigations and help keep criminals off the streets. This partnership is underpinned by Mitie’s Global Security Operations (GSO) service, it’s technology and intelligence-led security solution. Through the GSO, Mitie brings together the latest technology, 20,000 security officers and a team of intelligence experts and analysts, creating a 360-approach to security. From businesses in villages through to farms, rural crime affects thousands of people and communities across the UK countryside. Mitie will work with Crimestoppers to create a dedicated rural crime Steering Committee to address this issue. Alongside Mitie, Crimestoppers and relevant police forces, the Committee’s members will include other organisations with significant rural presence – such as the Police Crime Prevention Initiatives and the National Farmers Union. Bringing their own expertise and experience, members of the Steering Committee will collaborate to develop strategies to tackle rural crimes, such as theft and property damage, that cost families and businesses millions of pounds every year. Mitie will also use its experience delivering security services to hundreds of public and private sector clients to provide Crimestoppers with insights on the key security issues that businesses and communities are currently facing. Working closely with the Home Office, Crimestoppers will then use this information to create national awareness campaigns, to help tackle these challenges. Jason Towse, Managing Director, Business Services, Mitie, said: “We’re very excited to be teaming-up with Crimestoppers in this ground-breaking partnership. From people’s livelihoods to businesses, crime is never victimless and so we’re committed to bridging the gap between the public and private security sectors, to help keep our clients and the communities where we operate safe. By working collaboratively with other key stakeholders in the security industry, including renowned organisations such as Crimestoppers, we can all play a vital role in helping keep criminals off the streets.” Mark Hallas OBE, Chief Executive at the charity Crimestoppers, said: “One of the most powerful things we can do to respond to the continual changing face of crime is to work collaboratively. I am delighted that we have formed this unique partnership with Mitie Security, which will make a difference in tackling wrong-doing. “Crimestoppers has been giving people the ability to speak up 100% anonymously about crime since our independent charity started over 33 years ago. Providing this opportunity to share knowledge helps build confidence in communities, which ultimately leads to greater safety and security for us all.” Read next Press Release 3 October 2022 Mitie hits all annual ESG targets putting it on track to meet 2025 goals 2022 ESG report released detailing how Mitie hit all 13 ESG targets for the year, putting Mitie on track to meet its overall 2025 ESG goals Environmental highlights include saving customers 375,000 tonnes of… Read More Press Release 27 September 2022 Broadcaster extends facilities management contract with Mitie The BBC has extended its facilities management contract with Mitie for a further two years 780 colleagues work on the contract, delivering a range of integrated FM services for the broadcaster’s sites including its… Read More Press Release 12 May 2022 Andy Burnham unveils Mitie’s new northern technology hub Mitie has unveiled its new Technical Services Operations Centre (TSOC) in Wythenshawe, Greater Manchester, showcasing its cutting-edge workplace technology Officially opened by Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester, the TSOC is Mitie’s new Hub… Read More Press Release 28 April 2022 Mitie showcases latest innovation with the launch of its Cleaning and Hygiene Centre of Excellence • Mitie has launched its new Cleaning and Hygiene Centre of Excellence, to showcase the latest innovation in cleaning science and technology• Made up of six Zones, the new Centre in Birmingham demonstrates best… Read More See Resource Archive
