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 can help with:

 

Stolen Property:

CICP prepares and distributes ALERTS with photos and descriptions of stolen items to contractors, law enforcement, pawnshops and scrap metal recyclers. Click here to learn how the ALERT helped find the owner of the trailer.


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

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