The Wilkes-Barre Crime Watch Coalition will be sponsoring

"Operation Identification"

in March

Crime Prevention Officer, Phil Meyers, will be presenting the program "Operation Identification” at all Crime Watch meetings throughout the city in March.  Operation Identification is a program designed to discourage theft and recover stolen property in your neighborhood by identifying, marking, and listing your valuable items or property.

This effort acts as a direct deterrent to theft because stolen items bearing etched identification numbers are more difficult to sell, easily recoverable and can be linked with specific burglaries, making prosecution more likely.

Residents bringing their smaller items to the meetings such as tools, electronic games, cameras, etc. will be etched for identification purposes.   

For more information on times and dates of meetings visit our web site www.wbcrimewatch .org

 Or call 208-8900.
