The ten-step guide is available free of charge at the PaS website and covers the key considerations for implementing a successful partnership, from identifying the challenge and desired outcomes, through to implementation, review cycle and sustaining a legacy.
The guide has been developed by the Effective Collaboration Working Group of the PaS initiative – an initiative launched in 2014 to improve collaboration and trust between the private sector and the police to enhance public safety and security.
Over the coming months, case studies of existing successful partnerships between the police and private security industry will be added to the guide to illustrate how following best practice can achieve positive outcomes.
Brett Lovegrove, Chief Executive of the City Security and Resilience Network and Effective Collaboration Working Group Lead, said: “This best practice guide brings both the private security industry and law enforcement agencies together to collaborate in the most effective way possible. It suggests the adoption of the most basic steps in order to create lasting partnerships aimed at crime reduction in local areas. The guide provides the initial steps upon which to build collaborative success.”
