We are an international crime fighting and crime prevention company with an established track record for detecting and deterring criminal activity. We have created a wide range of crime reduction programmes utilising our cutting-edge and proprietary traceable liquid products which have been highly successful in reducing crimes, such as burglary, robbery and asset theft. We work extensively with Law Enforcement, both at a local level and internationally, to implement our crime deterrence strategies.
As a security tool, SmartWater technology is unique in having helped law enforcement agencies secure hundreds of convictions, for crimes ranging from armed robbery and burglary through to metal theft and illegal trafficking of endangered species. And that’s why criminals fear SmartWater so much. Here are a few examples of our most popular applications.
