What’s it all about? 
We believe prevention is better than cure. That's why we’re encouraging you to follow three simple steps to protect your property and make your possessions easier to trace if they do get stolen: 

By combining good home security habits with effective property marking and asset recording, we can make it harder for thieves to steal or dispose of your possessions. 

Police support
Police are routinely checking for lost and stolen items. All our front-line officers now have UV torches to spot property markings. Suspects and their belongings will be checked in custody suites and recovered property will be routinely examined. Finally, we will be working with second-hand dealers to prevent the sale of stolen goods and catch both burglars and those handling stolen items.

Peace of mind
We encourage everyone to give these three steps a try to better protect yourselves and your families. By doing so, we can all help make our community safer. Find out more in the following information leaflets:

Thank you for being part of this effort and please consider taking advantage of our discounted SmartWater offer. Your support is crucial to the success of this campaign.
