ecoATM Partners With Retired San Diego Chief of Police William
Lansdowne to Strengthen Relationships With Law Enforcement
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 11, 2014) - ecoATM®, the
nationwide network of automated electronics recycling kiosks, today
announced a new partnership with former San Diego Chief of Police
William Lansdowne. Chief Lansdowne will be a key contributor
to ecoATM's ongoing commitment to consumer safety and awareness
around cell phone and device security and assist ecoATM in building
and strengthening relationships with law enforcement across the
country. ecoATM is an Outerwall Inc. brand (NASDAQ: OUTR).
Chief Lansdowne recently retired after serving over 50 years in
law enforcement as a nationally recognized leader in community
policing, violence reduction and community oversight. Chief
Lansdowne served as San Diego Chief of Police for 11 years,
establishing a track record of consistent crime reduction. When
Chief Lansdowne left his post, San Diego was ranked as the second
safest large city in America.
"ecoATM was founded during my tenure as police chief in San
Diego and I have always been impressed with the company's strong
commitment to consumer safety and law enforcement cooperation,"
said Chief Lansdowne. "On a national level, ecoATM is inspiring
participation in electronic recycling and its market-leading
security features are setting the standard for public
safety. I'm honored to extend my experience to ecoATM to help
the company work even more effectively with law enforcement and
public officials across the country."
Maria Stipp, president of ecoATM said, "Chief Lansdowne is
intimately aware of the challenges that police departments face in
terms of public safety. His support and counsel will be
extremely valuable as ecoATM continues to work closely with law
enforcement, regulators, policy leaders, elected officials and
other stakeholders in developing the safest option for responsibly
recycling used cell phones."
Chief Lansdowne began his highly decorated career in the San
Jose, Calif., police department as a patrolman. He advanced to
eventually become Chief of Police in Richmond, Calif., before
returning to San Jose as Chief of Police. Under Lansdowne's
leadership, San Jose was recognized as the safest large city in
America for five years running. He moved to San Diego in 2003,
where he retired after a successful tenure. Chief Lansdowne also
has over 13 years of experience as a Major Cities Chief Police
Board member and is a board member of the Police Executive Research
Forum.
Chief Lansdowne will also complement ecoATM's directors of law
enforcement relations: Max Santiago, former Deputy Commissioner of
the California Highway Patrol, and Mike McCann, graduate of the FBI
National Academy and retired chief of police.
