What is SmartWater?
SmartWater is a revolutionary forensic coding/property marking system that protects your home and deters burglars from stealing your property.
SmartWater is a clear fluid which is quickly and easily applied to your property. SmartWater is delivered in a small bottle which contains a brush. The SmartWater solution in each bottle contains a unique "forensic code" (like DNA), which, when painted on your property allows the item to be traced to you. SmartWater is invisible in normal light, but can be seen under ultraviolet light. All you do is put a small dab of SmartWater on to your property, and it is marked - it is that simple.
Why is this being offered through Neighbourhood Watch?
The key to SmartWater's effectiveness as a deterrent, is it's use in "clusters" of houses, as opposed to individual houses adopting SmartWater. When a cluster of houses adopt SmartWater the police will provide FREE SmartWater/Neighbourhood Watch signs to erect in the street (at the ratio of one free sign per 10 packs sold). Criminals are VERY aware of SmartWater, and the mere presence of those signs will act as a massive deterrent. This is why we are distributing SmartWater through Neighbourhood Watch schemes, as NW schemes are already in clusters of houses - if many/all of the member households of a given scheme adopts SmartWater they will be greatly reducing their chances of being a victim of burglary.
We have been distributing SmartWater through Neighbourhood Watch on Wychavon and
