The SmartWater team and the Metropolitan Police have been working togther to raise awareness of the MetTrace project through a intensive media campaign.
Cutting Edge Technology
Scientists at SmartWater’s internationally accredited laboratories work daily with major organizations, creating solutions to solve issues of sustainability, proof of provenance and ethical sourcing. Each water-based forensic formula can be created to align with a consignment or location or manufacturer, even to form part of a distributable ledger or ‘Blockchain’.
Robust and Reliable
SmartWater traceable liquids are resistant to excessive heat caused by blast temperatures, humidity, UV sunlight, acids and other solvents used in the production process. The unique forensic signature within SmartWater solutions can be applied as a coating directly applied to the surface of materials such as precious metals, gems, timber, stone and many other substrates.
Flexible Solutions
The unique liquid forensic signature within the solutions can be applied either by industrial scale, remotely activated and metered misting systems to more simplified processes, designed to match the prevailing onsite conditions.
SmartWater can operate random sites checks with fully documented analysis, providing the ability to evidence independent verification of ethical sourcing in protection of the Client’s brand reputation.
Trusted Brand
SmartWater scientists work on a daily basis with international law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI and other Federal agencies in the USA, police at New Scotland Yard, London and the Gendarmerie in France.
Research partnerships have been formed with some of the World’s most eminent academic institutions pioneering new scientific techniques. For example, SmartWater is assisting in developing new methodology to trace the movement of malaria bearing mosquitoes and helping in the fight to preserve elephants through new forensic marking techniques.
Crime Reduction Programmes
SmartWater is a holistic policing strategy that maintains pressure on criminals operating in your area through the introduction of a powerful and sustainable deterrent. SmartWater has developed a proprietorial method, which is a coordinated operating strategy for police, incorporating a range of new techniques, which have been used to achieve as much as an 85% reduction in burglary, in areas where SmartWater forensic protection has been employed.
Crime Reduction Programmes
Our trademarked crime reduction strategy came about following research that demonstrated that conventional mass property marking initiatives by police, using the existing range of different property marking technologies, failed to produce a sustainable deterrent, despite there being absolute legal requirement to prove true ownership of recovered stolen property to the Court.
Crime Reduction Programmes
SmartWater is a policing strategy specifically designed for senior police officers to ensure that they achieve maximize impact, with the following objectives:
Covert Technologies
We have at our disposal a range of covert and trap devices that can be deployed quickly and relatively easily to help catch persistent and prolific offenders. Our Special Support Team (SST) has years of experience deploying this equipment and will be able to recommend the products best suited to your requirements and then help you to plan and execute your operation.
Days of Action
Days of Action are a crucial component of The SmartWater Strategy™ as influencing handlers and receivers of stolen goods can directly impact on the behaviour of thieves. SmartWater Investigators have been engaged in over 150 police-led operations at scrap metal yards, recycling centres and second hand outlets. As part of this we have supported the police on over 1,150 separate visits to proactively search for SmartWater-marked stolen goods./span>
