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 or 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.
