About the forthcoming the HGV Crime Solutions event, bringing together, organisers say, the forces to combat the growth in vehicle crime.
Launched last May, Eurowatch provides 24-hour access to police across Europe. It works via a single telephone number that a subscriber can call from any country, allowing information to be communicated in any European language. A unique feature of the service is its capability to forward vehicle tracking information direct to police in real-time, enabling them to respond with greater speed and precision. This operates with all GPS-based systems. The service works through a central website www.eurowatchcentral.com and has a network of National Service Providers in each country, who have accreditation to police and provide service cover 24 -365. Peter Vyvyan-Robinson, director of Eurowatch which is a main sponsor of the first HGV Crime Solutions Show and Seminar, said: ?Clients realise that vehicles and cargo are more vulnerable when outside their home country and Eurowatch provides a type of protection that has been previously unavailable. Now, for the first time, when a crime occurs in a foreign country, there is a reliable way of accessing the police.?
