The FireStoppers service was launched in 2018, to assist County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service to address the issue of of arson in two high risk areas. Since then the initiative has grown from strength to strength and now has ten Fire Service partners: Cleveland, County Durham and Darlington, Derbyshire, Essex, Humberside, Kent, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire, and Tyne and Wear. FireStoppers offers a way for members of the community with information on those setting deliberate fires to pass on what they know, 100% anonymously. It has also proved to act as a deterrent at key points/events throughout the year. Our partnership with Fire Services aims to keep communities safe from the severe dangers that fire poses to property, health and life.
“Year one of the FireStoppers trial provided more than a 20% reduction in deliberate fires, following year-on-year increases within our service over five years. The service has provided a tool for fire crews and the Arson Reduction Team to use effectively through both social media platforms and face-to-face contact in our approach to reducing the impact of deliberate fire setting within our communities.”
Our IP, rewards and information sharing services have helped Openreach deter and combat crimes against the company.
We work closely with their internal security taskforce to fight the damage and theft of cables that disrupt their network and in turn affect local businesses, communities and emergency services.
“The information provided anonymously by members of the public via Crimestoppers is invaluable in bringing the people responsible for damaging our infrastructure to justice. Attacks to our network can leave local communities and businesses without vital telephone, broadband and TV services. Even the smallest piece of information, like a description of someone acting suspiciously, or a vehicle registration number, can help to catch the individuals responsible and prevent further attacks.
"When there is criminal theft or damage to our digital network, the loss of phone and broadband is not only inconvenient but can put vulnerable people at risk. Repair work also pulls our engineers away from other work, which can take weeks to finish, and costs thousands of pounds.
“That's why we're delighted that our long-term partnership with Crimestoppers help us get information from the public which can bring criminals, who damage our network, to justice. Even the smallest piece of information, like a description of someone acting suspiciously, or a vehicle registration number, can help to catch the individuals responsible and prevent further attacks. Crimestoppers works closely with our dedicated security team which investigates all attacks and our network is alarmed and monitored 24/7 by our control centre.
“It's thanks to Crimestoppers, and its support, that make criminals take notice and now think twice before deciding to target our network.”
