| Operation Identification (Operation ID) is a citizen’s
burglary prevention program for use in homes and
businesses. The Operation ID program involves marking
property with an identifying number as a means of
discouraging burglary and theft. It also provides police with
a way to identify property should it be stolen and recovered.
In communities where it has been properly implemented,
Operation ID has shown dramatic results in burglary
reduction.
Contact your local police precinct to borrow an engraving tool. Once your property has been engraved and a sheet completed with your identified property, police will provide you with a number of stickers to put on your doors and windows identifying your home as using Operation Identification. This will deter would-be burglars.
