Following consultation with both the UK police and the legal profession, SmartTag® has been designed to be compliant with current legislation, providing it is used as intended.
SmartTag uses a pressurised canister to deploy a stream of SmartWater forensic liquid to tag an Offender with a unique forensic code, assigned to the ‘Elite’ member for their exclusive use. This can be used by the police to link the Offender back to a specific criminal incident.
Trials with the police and security industry colleagues demonstrated that security staff equipped with SmartTag were able to calm down potentially violent situations very quickly, as potential Offenders knew of SmartWater’s successful track record in the Criminal Courts.
