How do the Police gain access?The police have access to encrypted scanners that are used when property comes into their possession (e.g. execution of a search warrant or search on or after arrest). The scanner checks the database to see if the property is stolen and if this is the case they can contact the account holder.
How can I use it?The rural crime project is offering the chance to registered with immobilise at their organised property marking events. The project has its own immobilise computer allowing the operator to set up an account there and then. All they need is a mobile phone or other item with a bar code. Once the account is set up an email will then be sent to the account holder allowing them to access their account and start to add property at their convenience. You can even upload photographs of property to assist in identification.
The project also has a bar code scanner so property can be added to the account very quickly. This is useful where multiple items need to be added.
If you are not able to visit an event in person then go on line to www.immobilise.com where you can register and set up your account.
