County Clare Property Marking Scheme

2019 Progress

What is the Property Marking Scheme?

• The scheme is a community led crime prevention program.
• The program involves marking property with a unique identifier.
• Our scheme offers a number of unique identifier options including Driving Licence number
• r Eircode.
• The mark that is made on the property is a physical mark which is etched into the
• property. It is very difficult to remove and can be repeated a number of times on the one

item.

• The mark is made by a the Telesis Benchmark 460 marking machine which embosses the

property item with small dots in the pattern of the unique identifier.
