"I have been on a conference call this morning with several agencies regarding the on-goings around safety in the town centre. It has been reported to me that there has been a large decrease in break-ins and criminal damage to businesses since your patrol has started which is fantastic. The intel we are receiving from the incident logs is helping us to pass key intel onto key agencies ."

SIGNING IN SHEETS
Just a reminder to everyone to please make sure they sign in and out of every shift. This is really important from both a Health & Safety and emergency protocol perspective, plus also to confirm when you are at work. If for any reason your venue does NOT have a signing in book, contact us and we'll get this resolved as a matter of urgency.
Please make sure you all sign in the ZED Security and Guarding log book at the Colchester General Hospital which is located at the help desk on the left hand side of the desk.
This is to ensure correct payment and used for any fire checks that take place.
PLEASE DOWNLOAD
Please could everyone download the citizenAID app, via App Store or Google Play.
This app contains information on both vehicle and acid attacks, alongside shooting, stabbing and bombing incidents. There is also guidance for what to do on encountering an unattended item in a public place. This guidance also supports the response of staff who work in these areas where unattended items are a common occurrence, and is great source of information for anyone working within the security industry.
