The Salem State
College Police Department has now implemented its Operation
Identification program campus-wide.
Officers are providing an opportunity for engraving
personal valuables at residence halls and work locations.
Operation I.D.
has become very popular at many colleges and universities
across the country because it provides a deterrent to
thieves. If an item is stolen, the engraved number
(usually the owners choice of number) or the serial
number can be entered into law enforcement computer
data bases.
Property recovered by
other law enforcement agencies is checked against these
data bases and the owner can be identified for return
of their property. Popular items selected for
engraving are:
- personal computers
and peripherals
- coffee and tea makers
- scientific calculators
- microwaves
- television sets
- radios and stereos
- bicycles
- personal specialized
tools
- auto etching program(in
conjunction with the Governors auto theft task force)
If you have any questions,
please contact our Crime Prevention Officers at (978)
542-6125 for a copy of the Crime Prevention Personal Inventory
List, and as always feel free to drop by Campus Police
to set up an appointment to have your belongings engraved.
