Operation Hands Off is a unique program that creates fear and uncertainty in the mind of the criminal and creates barriers to profiting from property theft.  The program gives home owners and businesses an affordable, effective deterrent against theft.

The program includes the use of highly sophisticated marking technologies that include hidden and prominently displayed markings, combined with nationally coordinated strategies that involve law enforcement, insurance companies, partner agencies and you, our clients.

The program makes marked material extremely difficult to sell and increases the risk of detection through a powerful International database system that cross references the identification data with property identification numbers and makes the same property data available to you and law enforcement officials.

Operation Hands Off also includes the following elements:

• Bait Property
• Tracking Devices
• Forensic Traps (Invisible marking on Criminals at the scene of a crime)
• Video Surveillance
• Silent alarms
• Anonymous Crime Reports through Crime Stoppers
• Public Awareness Programs
• Public Warning Signs

The combined impact of these various methods is to make your property too much trouble to steal: criminals move on to easier targets.
