"Built on a shared drive to create safer places to live, work, shop and visit"

Leading provider of innovative and intelligence-led security solutions, DeterTech, has renewed its membership with the police Secured by Design initiative.

DeterTech is an award-winning risk management company which partners with its clients to offer bespoke end-to-end security solutions that predict, deter and detect criminal activity.  

With operations across the UK and Europe, DeterTech mitigates the disruption and cost impact of thefts for clients operating nationally in infrastructure, construction, vacant property, and other sectors. 

DeterTech aspire to create a safer, more secure future for all, working every day to give greater peace of mind to people, businesses and communities. From ensuring security on multi-million pound construction projects to protecting remote critical national infrastructure; from enhancing the safety of the most vulnerable victims of domestic abuse, to assisting the museum curator or archaeologist responsible for world heritage sites or rare artefacts, the DeterTech team brings diverse expertise and unwavering dedication to ensure their solutions stay innovative and their service remains unparalleled.


DeterTech is perhaps best known amongst the crime prevention community for its forensic marking product SmartWater which remains the only technology of its kind with a 100% conviction rate in contested court cases. Scientists only require a trace of SmartWater the size of a full stop to irrefutably link people or property back to the scene of the crime. It is guaranteed to last for a minimum of five years in all weathers, even withstanding explosive blasts and harsh solvents, ensuring criminals can be convicted and that recovered goods can be returned to their rightful owners.

Alongside this, the company is also proud to operate a national crime intelligence service for the police and critical infrastructure companies, tracking organised crime gangs across the UK. As well as to offer a range of industry-leading intrusion detection solutions that are monitored in real-time from its in-house BS EN 50518 accredited alarm receiving centre.

They have an amazing range of products, covering property and asset marking, crime intelligence and perimeter security, and I look forward to working closely with them over the coming years”.

Gary Higgins, Director of Security and Risk at DeterTech commented: “Our long-standing partnership with Secured by Design is built on a shared drive to create safer places to live, work, shop and visit. We look forward to many more years of collaboration.”
