ADT Fire & Security held an ACPO Policy seminar for northern-based Crime Prevention Officers.
In line with the policy, ADT supplies a full range of confirmation technology, including Audio, Visual and Sequential Confirmation systems.

Steve Foster, general manager of ADT Fire & Security Newcastle, said: "As the major supplier of systems in the region, ADT is keen to work with local police forces to ensure that we take a unified approach.

"This will also provide us with direct access to the issues which affect our customers, ensuring that we provide systems which make a difference." Joining Mr Foster as speakers at the event in Chester-le-Street were Stuart Bulger, ADT Head of Police Liaison and Gary Metcalfe, Alarms Manager of Durham Constabulary.

Crime Prevention Officers attended from Northumbria, Durham, Cleveland and Cumbria.
