Crime Fighters Try to Link Up With Alarm Companies

Published: December 31, 2003

ST. PAUL, Minn. – An Internet-based company devoted to crime prevention is reaching out to electronic security and other businesses to promote its crime-fighting efforts. Citizen Observer is looking for alarm companies to help their local police agencies pay for their participation in Citizen Observer’s programs through sponsorships.

Citizen Observer offers law enforcement agencies the ability to post information and rewards about their fugitives, missing persons or unsolved crimes, as well as keep citizens informed of pertinent issues and statistics.

Able Security Systems of Milwaukee was one of the first alarm companies to help sponsor Citizen Observer programs.

“What it does for us it gives us tremendous credibility by associating with law enforcement,” says Able Security Systems President John Evans. “Alarm companies depend on the police to give them their service. This is a way of paying something back for the service they provide.”
