?Jewelers Mutual is proud to partner with this organization that has made such significant contributions to the war on jewelry crime,? David Sexton, vice president of loss prevention at Jewelers Mutual and a JVC board member, said. ?With Jewelers Mutual?s help, JVC continues to work closely with Canadian law enforcement to help them better understand the crime threats that Canadian jewelers face.?

JVC recently published its first Canadian Annual Crime Report, providing an analysis of crimes against jewelers reported to JVC throughout last year. The organization has also initiated a program that acknowledges that achievements of law enforcement agencies and departments in Canada that have made significant contributions to protecting the jewelry industry.

Now working together, JVC and Jewelers Mutual have a built a law enforcement database designed to send crime alerts to police officers. The tool has already contributed to several arrests, Jewelers Mutual said.

?We look forward to working together to continue educating the industry and strengthening the existing crime-prevention program,? Darwin Copeman, CEO of Jewelers Mutual, said. ?This partnership can really make a difference in the health and vitality of the Canadian jewelry industry.?
