Public Venue Safety & Security 2025 – Melbourne, Australia

Staging any major event presents a myriad of security and operational challenges and, at this month’s Public Venue Safety & Security 2025 forum, CSI CEO Hayley van Loon spoke of the power of utilizing secure anonymous reporting to mitigate criminal exploitation of large-scale, logistically complex international events.

The value of providing a recognized and trusted channel for citizens to share information that they are not comfortable or willing to report direct via traditional law enforcement channels cannot be over-stated - especially when it comes to addressing risks associated with corruption and human rights violations, terrorism and violent extremism, illicit trade and cybercrime, financial misconduct, public safety and exploitation, VIP and delegate or player welfare, transportation and hospitality concerns, match-fixing and illegal betting .. and much more.

The partnership will focus on strengthening law enforcement capabilities, supporting humanitarian forensics operations, building capacity for regional Crime Stoppers partners, delivering impactful community awareness initiatives, and piloting joint projects that showcase international best practices and innovative forensic techniques for missing and unidentified persons investigations.

By combining CSI’s international network and reporting reach with Forensic HID Co.’s interdisciplinary forensic expertise and human identification technologies, the organizations aim to help address the urgent challenges of missing persons, unidentified decedents, human trafficking, and the complex needs of victim identification and family reunification in humanitarian crises.

Global Annual Awards – update

By way of a quick update for all the Crime Stoppers programs, media agencies and private sector entities that have submitted entries to this year’s CSI Annual Global Awards, the Awards Committee advises that the judging panel has been overwhelmed by the response generated to the revamped award categories.

As a result, the Committee has had to slightly push out the timeline for advising winners (to w/c 6 October) and for staging the Presentation Ceremony (to w/c 27 October), and it sincerely thanks all entrants for their patience.
