This Year’s Finalists
The 2021-2022 Finalists for the LP Hall Solution Provider Partner of the Year include:
3SI Security Systems
The impact of organized retail crime has made headlines across the nation. From California to New York, law enforcement officials and businesses have had to face the challenges that organized retail crime crews have brought to their stores and communities. Numerous stories exist about crews brazenly entering stores and scooping up merchandise with no intent of paying for the items, and with the decrease in law enforcement personnel, police departments typically do not have the resources to assign officers to highly targeted locations. Even if they did, the cost to deploy officers at stores would be exorbitant.
For the last several years, the Redlands Police Department (RPD) has utilized electronic satellite pursuit technology manufactured by 3SI Security Systems to apprehend theft suspects, armed robbers, and burglars. Law enforcement has begun to turn the tables on organized retail crime crews by working with retail asset protection specialists to deploy these trackers on items that are prone to being stolen. We would not be as effective if not for the unique service that 3SI Security Systems provides enabling us to lay a trap that has repeatedly been proven to apprehend those that are intent on committing organized retail crime.
With over 350 arrests attributed to the technology, RPD has numerous success stories as to how the technology and services provided by 3SI security Systems has enabled the department to enhance police services and apprehend both violent and property crime offenders. Because of 3SI Security Systems and the services they provide, law enforcement across the nation has been able to hold a countless number of criminals accountable for the crimes they have committed. 3SI Security Systems is definitely worthy of being considered as Solution Provider Partner of the Year.
