Law Enforcement Partners

SERVICES FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT
Partners in Crime Prevention

Since 1996, law enforcement agencies have been important partners in our work to reduce construction industry crimes. CICP's partnerships with law enforcement have resulted in contractors taking a more active role in preventing theft on their jobsites. When thefts do occur, CICP contractors actively participate in prosecutions. Law enforcement agencies are a critical link in this process.

CICP, OSP and the Portland Police Bureau have partnered to develop the Protocols for Selling Stolen Metals card for patrol officers and others investigating cases involving the selling of stolen metals. These laminated cards are available to patrol officers and deputies at no cost. To order these cards, contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Recovered Property

We assist law enforcement in locating owners of recovered property by:

• Distributing information throughout our network.
• Providing a knowledgeable contractor to help identify what has been recovered.
• Assisting in locating serial numbers (often the visible ones are removed; most equipment has hidden numbers).
• Facilitating sensitive suspect information between property crimes detectives in different jurisdictions.

Education:

• We draw on law enforcement expertise to provide contractors with current crime prevention training.
• We visit job sites to help contractors and workers learn how to secure valuable items.
• We provide workplace signs that inform employees and visitors about reducing property crimes.
• We facilitate preplanning between contractors and law enforcement to prevent crimes before construction begins
• We formed a partnership with NER (National Equipment Register) to provide law enforcement specialized training regarding heavy equipment theft.
• We present crime prevention education at law enforcement conferences.
• We recognize the CICP law enforcement partnership at our annual awards luncheon.
