The FTSE 250 FM services company Mitie has launched ‘all incident’ crime mapping software, in what it claims is a security industry first.
By using a data hub and intelligence sharing and analytics, the software blends external data sources, such as police crime data (pictured: London). This is analysed for patterns and trends by incident type, sector, region, county, district, neighbourhood and site. The software acts as an online, UK-wide registry of the contract company’s recorded security incidents and police crime data. Mitie adds that it will use the information to make risk-based decisions around the analytics and findings for its clients.
Bob Forsyth, managing director of Mitie’s total security management business, said: “This is one of the most exciting developments the security industry will see this year. It enables us, as a security provider, to provide our clients with intelligence that influences their resource levels and overall security strategy based on accurate and real information. Incident data will be a key driver in decision-making based on factual trend analysis. The days of assumption are over. ”
Mitie reports that its total security management business secures over 33,000 locations across the UK and Europe, capturing thousands of incidents each month. The incident data is collected by Mitec, its Northern Ireland-based CAT II, BS 5979 ARC and technology hub. Visit http://www.mitie.com.
