SmartWater maintain affiliation with Secured by Design

SmartWater are an international crime prevention company with an established track record for detecting and deterring criminal activity. The company have created a wide range of crime reduction programmes utilising their cutting-edge and proprietary forensic liquid products which have been highly successful in reducing crimes, such as burglary, robbery and asset theft.

SmartWater forensic liquid marks items of value with their own unique forensic ‘code’ which is almost impossible to remove. Any traces of the liquid will glow Smartwater’s trademarked yellow-green under ultraviolet light, allowing any marked property to be easily identified.

The unique code within the liquid provides an irrefutable forensic link back to the owner of stolen goods and also links criminals with the scene of their crime. By heightening the accountability of thieves in this way, SmartWater has established a formidable reputation as a powerful deterrent and work extensively with Law Enforcement, both at a local level and internationally.

SmartWater is the only supplier or forensic traceable liquid currently compliant with the Home Office Forensic Science Regulator's Codes of Practice issue 4 and is an ISO17025-accredited organisation. If property or an individual is marked using forensic technology provided by a supplier that fails to meet this vital standard, the law mandates that this must be disclosed to the Courts. The Courts may then decide to rule that evidence as inadmissible.
