Greetings!
 

I am pleased to announce that Perpetuity's Security Benchmarking Tool was successfully launched last week at ASIS International conference in Atlanta and today the UK.  Our aim is to give organisations the opportunity to see what areas of their security meet with 'best practice' guidelines and which areas need more work.  It is completely free of charge to use and the results are autonomous. See below for more details.  

We are also looking for  a Marketing and Sales Manager, details are below. If you know of anyone who might be interested, please do draw their attention to the attached.

With best wishes
Martin Gill



 

Companies can now benchmark their security

BenchmarkingA new on-line toolkit allows companies to assess how secure they and their employees are.
 
Developed by Perpetuity Research and Consultancy International Ltd, a spin-out company from the University of Leicester, the on-line benchmarking tool enables organisations to benchmark their security.
 
The tool - hosted on the Perpetuity website - is completely free of charge and easy to use. Joe Greenan, Security, Health and Safety Manager of Allen and Overy said:
 
"This tool will not only allow enterprises to benchmark their organisation against others in the industry, the common thread is that it will identify weaknesses and provide a structure for determining  cost effective security priorities".

We will be assessing the different ways of identifying potential problems, looking at the profiling and psychology of offenders and we will be introducing a former fraudster to offer his insights.
 
We will be evaluating models for assessing risks, and deciding on the best ways of responding, looking at the role of forensics, the design of the environment and offering new insights on human factors. We will specifically assess the value of technologies as well as personnel monitoring and the implications of these.

This course covers the essential knowledge, methods and key steps that investigators need to know in order to effectively undertake investigations and conduct successful witness and suspect interviews.

Crime and Disorder Partnership Benchmarking to inform 2009/2010 action planning
 
Compare your crime rateComparing your crime rates against your most similar group is a very useful process in order to identify where you are succeeding, or are perhaps not so successful, in managing crime. However, simply comparing crime rates does not provide enough information to understand the reasons behind your success or why you may be falling behind other areas, which makes it very difficult to know how to respond. It is for this reason that one Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP) commissioned Perpetuity to carry out a benchmarking study. 
 

For more information...
 
If you want to know more about the members of your most similar group and are interested in a benchmarking review do not hesitate to contact us. For more information contact us on 0116 222 5555 or prci@perpetuitygroup.com

Evaluating Police Community Support Officers
 
The recent Home Office Research Report (Mason and Dale 2008) reviewing Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) Activity Based Costing data supported the findings from Perpetuity's reviews of PCSOs in two areas. The report summarised the findings from the Activity Based Costing data completed by PCSOs across England and Wales and found that on average PCSOs spent most of their time on visible patrol. Perpetuity found that this was also the case in two forces they reviewed in order to assess PCSOs impact to provide evidence to encourage partner funding and improve effectiveness.

If you are interested in a review of your PCSOs please contact us on 0116 222 5555 or prci@perpetuitygroup.com.
