Cornwall Community Police Service Teams Up with Verisk’s CargoNet and the National Equipment Register.
CORNWALL, ON. The Cornwall Community Police Service (CCPS) today announced a new strategic alliance with Verisk Crime Analytics (VCA) to combat stolen goods and equipment.
CCPS officers will use VCA, a leading source of information about cargo theft and equipment theft risk, to disrupt crime networks, increase recovery rates, and apprehend criminals associated with cargo and equipment thefts.
CargoNet and the National Equipment Register (NER) help prevent theft of cargo as well as heavy equipment through information sharing and collaboration of theft victims, their business partners and law enforcement. Both resources are centered on secure national databases and information-sharing platforms managed by crime analysts and subject-matter experts. Analytical tools also allow the aggregate data to be analyzed to show and predict theft trends to support loss prevention and investigations.
“This newly established relationship will further strengthen our increased criminal interdiction efforts throughout Ontario,” Detective Staff Sergeant Shawn White ” said. “Given the volume of trucking activity in Cornwall due to the number of Distribution Centers, it makes this a logical partnership to enter into from a police perspective. With the information-sharing capabilities of CargoNet and NER, CCPS officers can conduct timely investigations, link recovered goods to owners, and remove criminals from local highways and communities.”
Cornwall Community police officers will now have access to investigative support through the 24-hour CargoNet and NER operations centers and will receive theft alerts to patrol units. The CargoNet and NER databases will also allow CCPS personnel to analyze shifting crime patterns; retrieve real-time theft trends; and access theft reports based on day, time, location, commodity, and many other factors.
“We applaud the Cornwall Community Police Service for its leadership in the fight against cargo and heavy equipment theft,” said David Shillingford, President of Verisk Crime Analytics. “This alliance is a perfect example of how the public and private sectors can work together to share intelligence across municipal, provincial and cross border jurisdictions, which is critical in the fight against highly mobile thieves.”

Ontario Provincial Police News Portal [STORMONT DUNDAS and GLENGARRY] OPP Investigating Frauds 2013-08-29
Suspects phone in an order using a fraudulent credit card for payment. At times, the suspects hire a company to pick-up the order shortly after making the phone call. When the credit card is used, it appears to be valid, but is soon returned to the company as stolen or compromised. Unfortunately, the material is already gone.
The OPP reminds companies to be diligent in ensuring that credit cards are used properly. Do not provide materials unless the actual credit card is presented for payment and if in doubt, request a secondary piece of identification. Businesses may also call the credit card companies to ensure the card is valid.
If anyone has information about these frauds, they are asked to contact their local OPP detachment at 1-888-310-1122 or their nearest police agency.

Ottawa Police and Community partners working to ensure everyone has a safe and law-abiding return to school
(Ottawa) – Welcome back to college and university students! As students prepare for another year of studies, the Ottawa Police Service (OPS) will be working with City, university and community partners to help ensure everyone has a safe and law abiding return to school.
Through education and enforcement, returning students will be reminded about being respectful neighbours, safe and legal behaviours, bike safety and the dangers of excessive alcohol consumption. This is the third year OPS has conducted this project.
“We want everyone to be able to enjoy their neighbourhoods in a safe manner,” said Const. Ryan Pierce of the Rockliffe Community Police Center. “It is important for people to understand that nuisance crimes and bylaw violations affect the quality of life for residents and won’t be tolerated.”
The efforts will include increased police presence around campuses across the City, education visits by volunteers and City partners and enforcement. It will also include other partners like the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.
The targeted areas are often the source of a large number of complaints to police and By-Law Services regarding disturbances, noise, public intoxication, drug use, and other nuisance issues. The campaign aims to educate residents before any enforcement efforts begin. The teams will be visiting areas with high student populations bringing them information about City By-Laws and property standards.
