Citizen has partnered with Securitas for the Chicago trial, the sources said. The idea is that Securitas would function as a check-in service for users, one of the sources said. If a user contacts Citizen about a break in, Securitas could follow up later with the user and verify everything is okay after the event was reported to the police. Or, a store owner could schedule an event such as needing private security when locking up their property at night, the source said.Do you work at Citizen? We'd love to hear from you.
