Axis is a cooperation partner for a safer city
Since September 2007, Axis is a cooperation partner in the Safe City program that is run by Target, the American retail chain. The aim of Safe City is to reduce criminality in selected cities through tougher surveillance in zones (so-called SafeZones). This takes place partly through close cooperation with the police and other authorities, and partly by Target and their cooperation partners providing support with financing and technological equipment. Axis’ main role will be to supply Safe City with equipment, for example, network cameras, and contribute with advice regarding camera surveillance.
In the cities where Safe City has been implemented, certain types of criminality have fallen by two digit percentages since SafeZones were introduced. In Minneapolis, the number of car thefts has decreased by 20 percent and robberies by 9 percent. In South Bay, car thefts declined in the zone by 19 percent and burglaries by 17 percent.
The police, Target, the cities’ residents and the program’s cooperation partners are collaborating in order to reduce the number of crimes and new cities are continually joining up. The benefit for all involved is enhanced security for property and people and lower costs as a consequence of lower criminality.
