Warwickshire Police

Marking your property using SmartWater or other “invisible” anti-theft identification systems such as ultra violet pens, will reduce its value to the thief and makes it harder for them to sell on. SmartWater is a colourless, odourless liquid that has the ability to security mark valuable items of property with a unique DNA style chemical formula.

Each batch of SmartWater is totally unique and once applied to a surface it is virtually impossible to remove. If the item comes to the attention of the police a sample of the SmartWater is scraped off and sent to SmartWater for analysis. SmartWater’s unique code is then used to identify who the property belongs to by displaying the name; address or postcode the batch is registered to. This enables the police to identify property as stolen and help return it to its rightful owner.

• Apply SmartWater to all valuables such as computers, Wiis, playstations, electrical equipment, cameras, DVD players etc. It can also be used on furniture and jewellery. Once applied, it is virtually impossible to remove.
• SmartWater kits also include property marking labels and stickers for windows. Place stickers prominently in each window, to warn criminals that SmartWater protects your property.

SmartWater can easily be detected by the use of an ultraviolet lamp. Marking your valuables also means that property can be identified as stolen if it is found and may be used as evidence to help to convict a suspect.

If an offending burglar gets SmartWater on them, it is almost impossible to remove and immediately shows up if that person is examined with ultra violet light in a custody suite. A mark just the size of a pinhead is enough for that person to be linked to a crime scene.

Because each application of SmartWater has its own DNA code, it means that any criminals who are later arrested can be linked forensically to the crime scenes.
