ZIZ NEWS…19 May 2010 – The number of laptop thefts that have been experienced by students studying in the Federation has led to strong action being taken by the Federation’s universities and the St Kitts and Nevis Police Force.
A specialised software company, Absolute Software, and its parent company Lojack have been brought on board by Ross University and the Federation’s police force to provide expert software which deals with the identification of stolen computers.
Speaking at today’s press conference which was held at the Ross University campus in West Farm, Daniel Vitalio Junior, Vice-President of Facilities of the International University of Nurses and the University of Medical and Health Sciences, spoke of the offences that are being carried out against the Federation’s students.
The Assistant Commissioner of Police Joseph Liburd spoke of how the local police force is pleased to be working together with Ross University and Lojack in dealing with this increasing crime.
