Information on property marking for January 2011

Many schools have been given SmartWater property marking kits by the police and now need additional kits to mark their property.

To continue using SmartWater an annual licence fee is applicable. A similar alternative method, without the annual licence fee, would be SelectaDNA (pdf) which also has police and Loss Prevention Council approval.

For further details please see the above pdf or email Steve Dunham: dunhams@ealing.gov.uk
