Business Editors

PHILADELPHIA & EDMONTON, Canada--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 2, 2001

CAP Index Inc., the world leader in crime vulnerability prediction, today announced that it has named Shepp Johnman Inc., a leading Canadian security consulting and investigations firm based in Edmonton, Alberta, as its first distributor in Canada.

Shepp Johnman will make available to Canadian businesses and organizations, insurance companies, and property managers CAP's unique CRIMECAST(TM) CANADA products and services. CAP's CRIMECAST CANADA can rate the vulnerability to crime at any location within Canada's 13 provinces, down to the specific street address.

CRIMECAST CANADA products are used to help property owners and managers make site selections and determine the level of security that is needed at specific locations. Canadian insurers will be able to use CRIMECAST CANADA data to determine insurance premiums and justify premium increases.

According to Robert Figlio, CAP Index Chairman and Chief Executive Officer: "CAP Index is excited to welcome Shepp Johnman to the CAP Index team. Dennis Shepp and his consulting firm are well known and broadly respected throughout Canadian security and investigative management circles. He will be instrumental in introducing our technology to Canada. For over 10 years, thousands of businesses and organizations throughout the United States have used CAP's crime vulnerability reports to make informed decisions about security. CRIMECAST CANADA combines our unique methodology with the latest Canadian crime incident data as well as other critical socioeconomic data to determine the likelihood of various types of crimes at specific locations."

, Senior Partner at Shepp Johnman, said: "CAP Index's technology will provide exceptional value to Canadian security and risk management professionals. While raw crime data is easily available, CAP's crime vulnerability prediction services add a powerful new dimension in understanding the type and degree of crime threat at any given property anywhere in Canada."

CAP Index is the single most accurate predictor of crime vulnerability in the United States and Canada. CRIMECAST reports and maps utilize CAP Index's proprietary CRIMECAST Model, which is based on the strong relationship that exists between a neighborhood's "social disorder" and the amount of crime that is perpetrated there.

By combining surrounding social characteristics, survey information and other databases with known indicators of crime, the CRIMECAST model is able to provide precise scores indicating a site's risk of crime in comparison to national, province and local averages.

CRIMECAST scores range from 1 to 2000, with 100 representing average risk. CRIMECAST CANADA data include 10 current scores for Crimes Against Persons (sexual assault, robbery, homicide, aggravated assault A person is guilty of aggravated assault if he or she attempts to cause serious bodily injury to another or causes such injury purposely, knowingly, or recklessly under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life; or attempts to cause or purposely or ) and Crimes Against Property (burglary, larceny, motor vehicle theft Motor vehicle theft or grand theft auto is a criminal act of theft generally understood to refer to the stealing of automobiles, buses, motorcycles, snowmobiles, trucks, trailers or any other motorized vehicle legally allowed on public roads and highways, including attempted ).
