The COMPASS Advisor is important. The COMPASS advisor is a police officer. He is constantly talking to the partners. He documents the progress of the initiatives for more security. First he talks to the representatives of the municipality. He draws up a detailed safety analysis with them. This analysis is for the respective city or municipality. All proven police measures are taken into account. All programs that are already in place are also taken into account. Existing measures are reviewed. A precise list of measures is drawn up. This list shows how local security can be improved.
