CAP INDEX ANNOUNCES NEW CANADIAN CRIME RISK DATABASE

EXTON, PA (November 19, 2008) – CAP Index, Inc., the world leader in crime vulnerability and loss prevention analytics, today introduced the latest Canadian version of its comprehensive CRIMECAST® database.  This database serves as the core of CAP Index’s growing portfolio of crime risk management and loss prevention analytics services for companies, organizations, and government agencies throughout Canada.

“CRIMECAST data is frequently updated so that clients can confidently evaluate security requirements, efficiently allocate budgets, accurately predict losses, and implement strategies and policies that will reduce further loss,” said Jon D. Groussman, president and Chief Operating Officer of CAP Index.  “The data quantifies any site’s crime risk compared to national, province, or city averages, and is tracked over time to develop a risk trend analysis.”

CAP Index’s CRIMECAST products are derived from an advanced evaluation system designed to accurately identify the risk of personal and property crimes at a specific location.  Furthermore, this data assists clients in ranking and comparing multiple locations, site selection, security resource allocation, litigation, and underwriting. 

“CAP Index is an essential cornerstone of our Security Risk Management Strategy,” said David M. Hyde, Director of Security Services for The Cadillac Fairview Corporation Ltd.  “It provides a fact-based, defensible crime risk profile which is relevant to our individual locations and markets.  It is also dynamic in that the data sets are updated regularly to facilitate accurate comparisons over time.”
