Identification
What
is Operation I.D.?
Operation ID is a campus-wide program designed to discourage
theft of valuables from your residence. The identifying marks
enable the police to contact and return stolen merchandise
to the rightful owner. Operation ID has dramatically reduced
crime in communities where the majority of residents have
joined the program.
Operation
ID reduces the profit of crime, because burglars steal valuables
for resale. If you mark all items with permanent identification
numbers, the burglar will be unable to sell them through legitimate
means. If a criminal knows all valuables in your residence
are marked, he will look for an easier and more profitable
victim.
What
should be marked?
All items of value should be marked to include:
Bicycles
Cameras
Radios/Stereos
Televisions
VCR's
Computers
Calculators
Instruments
Jewelry,
antiques, and heirlooms are items that can not be engraved.
Instead, take close-up photographs or videotape these items.
How
do you join Operation ID? ( Download PDF Form ) | ( Download MS. Word Form )
Download and print the Property Identification/Inventory Form. Fill out the form and make several copies. Keep one copy with you and store the other copy(s) at another location, perhaps with a parent, relative or trusted friend. You can also fill the form out on your computer and keep a copy there. The University Police Department DOES NOT keep a copy of the inventory forms
You can also checkout an engraver to mark your property in a more personal way. If you need assistance with engraving or with any other aspect of Operation ID, you may make an appointment with the University Police Department and someone will come out to your residence and assist you.
For more information or assistance, contact Lt. Keith West at (251) 460-6611 or email him at kwest@usouthal.edu.
