All UK police forces are now using SelectaDNA to reduce burglaries, theft, robberies, vehicle crime and metal theft.
A highly effective crime reduction tool, SelectaDNA has been proved to reduce theft by up to 85% in some areas.
SelectaDNA is an advanced forensic property marking system which links burglars to crime scenes and provides an unbreakable chain of evidence in a court of law.
Criminals are regularly scanned for traces of SelectaDNA in police custody suites.
Police can use SelectaDNA as part of mass marking crime reduction campaigns to help residents mark valuable household items such as electronic equipment, garden tools and jewellery.
Police can also advise local companies and retail outlets on how best to protect expensive items of stock, as well as the equipment they need to operate their businesses.
Local schools can be target-hardened against break-ins by the use of SelectaDNA. Police can assist by marking ICT equipment and even sports gear.
Each pot of SelectaDNA contains a synthetic DNA code held in a UV adhesive, containing hundreds of microdots. The product covertly marks items of value to uniquely identify them by way of the DNA markers, which are securely manufactured and encrypted so that unauthorised or criminal duplication is impossible.
SelectaDNA takes the concept of forensic marking to the next level by the use of uniquely-coded microdots as a supplementary identifier, which allows Police to identify stolen property in real time without having to release suspects on bail.
Details of marked items are held on an LPS1224 database, as recommended by ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers).
Our deterrent warning signs can be erected on the streets to warn off criminals and are recommended as a hugely effective part of your crime reduction campaign.
DNA evidence frightens criminals and provides the evidential chain that police officers require to be more effective in their jobs.
In residential property marking schemes, police can encourage homeowners to display our hi-visibility window stickers to indicate that their homes are protected by SelectaDNA.
