SmartWater - make your property more secure
Hertfordshire Constabulary, in partnership with Neighbourhood Watch, is working with SmartWater to keep home burglary low in Three Rivers.
SmartWater is offering Neighbourhood Watch members the product for a one-off total payment of £20 (inclusive of VAT and p&p). Usual price is £60 per annum.
What is SmartWater?
SmartWater is a colourless liquid solution that can be dabbed onto your personal possessions and valuables. You can use it on all kinds of household items such as jewellery, ornaments, electrical equipment including TVs, mobile phones and DVD players, golf and garden equipment. Once something is marked, it can be traced back to its true owner if lost or stolen.
How SmartWater works
Each bottle has its own unique chemical ‘code' which is registered to your address, so anything marked with your SmartWater can be traced back to you. A bottle marks around 50 to 60 items. It is almost invisible and is virtually impossible to remove. The liquid glows under ultra violet light so anything marked can be easily identified by the police. SmartWater has helped to convict hundreds of criminals and maintains a 100% conviction rate when used as evidence in court.
Proven to deter criminals
Officers routinely scan criminals and recovered property for SmartWater, so offenders know about it and fear its power to forensically link them with the scene of a crime. Mark your valuables and display SmartWater deterrent stickers and signs to send a powerful warning to any would-be burglars or thieves in the area.
How to order
If you would like to purchase SmartWater, please download an application form here or contact you local Neighbourhood Watch Area Co-ordinator.
Three Rivers Crime Reduction Partnership have funded the installation of SmartWater warning signs for our area.
