JM
Security Systems were the proud sponsors of the first Crimestoppers
Midlands Conference, held in Rugby, where the UK Charity’s 25 years
of success was celebrated. Victims of crime, community volunteers,
ex-gang members and law enforcement officials all attended this event
on 8th March 2013 at the Brownsover Hotel in Rugby.
Key
speakers included the Chief Constable of Warwickshire Police Andy
Parker, Police and Crime Commissioners Bill Longmore (West Mercia)
and Ron Ball (Warwickshire), Bill Cullen (Deputy Chief Executive
Hinckley and Bosworth Council) and Bill Griffiths, a long-serving
trustee of the charity who first brought Crimestoppers to the UK in
the 1980’s.
West
Midlands Regional Manager for Crimestoppers, Pauline Hadley said “it
was inspiring to hear from so many key people who value the
achievements of Crimestoppers and our engagement with vulnerable
communities. Communities are asking us to help them to get criminals
off their streets. We can do this with the help of volunteers and
organisations across the Midlands by working together.”
As the only Business Associate for the West Midlands committee, JM Security Systems have developed a unique working partnership with
Crimestoppers and offer their security solutions at preferential rates to all Crimestoppers partners and followers to protect their
businesses and homes.
JM
Security Systems Business Development Manager said “it was an
encapsulating day and we were honoured to be a part of it. The
accounts from victims and ex- gang members were very moving, and the
passion and dedication from volunteers was clearly visible. We
celebrated Crimestoppers 25 years of success in providing
consistent actionable information to the Police to help to arrest
criminals and prevent crime.” Chief Constable, Andy Parker
confirmed this: “In Warwickshire alone we have had 700 pieces of
actionable information from Crimestoppers last year, which lead to 17
arrests made as a result. That’s 700 pieces of information and 17
arrests we would not have had, had it not been for Crimestoppers.”
By
strengthening our working partnership with Crimestoppers UK and
Police, JM Security Systems can protect businesses and homes in
Midlands from the potentially devastating consequences of crime and
fire. JM Security Systems look forward to the next 25 years in
working with Crimestoppers in fighting crime.
