Mitie, the FTSE 250 strategic outsourcing company, has announces a strategic partnership with Facewatch, the online crime reporting and networking service.
Facewatch is a secure, cloud based platform that enables business users, the public and the police to report low-level crime with CCTV evidence; and to share offender images and intelligence with other businesses within secure groups. Facewatch provides tools to develop intelligence about specific individuals and provides advanced statistics enabling businesses and the police to drive down crime.
The Facewatch system holds the police approved Secured by Design accreditation and is fully accepted by the Crown Prosecution Service as a means of accessing digital case files within the UK courts. Facewatch is accessible from any internet connected device. This partnership will see Mitie take control of the entire crime reporting process on behalf of its customers. Using Mitec, Mitie’s hi-tech security hub, analysts will be able to review CCTV footage, prepare incident reports, and develop evidential packs in line with Police and CPS guidelines so these can be used to support prosecutions.
