DATATAG JOIN WITH MERSEYSIDE POLICE IN BIKE SECURITY EVENT
Datatag and Merseyside Police aim to raise awareness of motorcycle theft amongst bikers at the Steam Packet ferry terminal
Ahead of the Classic TT, held on the Isle of Man next week, Datatag and the Merseyside Police will be conducting a security event at the Steam Packet ferry terminal in Liverpool. This event, part of a series of scanning and security operations undertaken by Datatag, supported by various UK Police Forces, aims to raise awareness amongst riders of the issue of theft and how they can avoid falling victim during their week away.
Datatag staff will also be advising riders of the security features they already have installed on their machines through the industry’s official MASTER Security Scheme namely; tamper evident warning label, RFID transponders, UV etching and Datadots. Combined these technologies provide an almost impenetrable and unique identification and one which the criminals cannot easily remove.
Police figures released have consistently shown the deterrent effect of the MASTER Scheme and are keen to reiterate the help it provides in reuniting owners with stolen and recovered machines.
The MASTER Scheme, the first industry wide security marking scheme, was launched in 2012 with the full support of the major brands in the UK. Since its introduction it has, and continues to provide, protection to over 100,000 machines.

The Official MASTER Security Scheme powered by Datatag
Like all of the best inventions and ideas, the concept of Datatag is simple but utilizes state of the art identification technologies to permanently mark and protect your property. Datatag makes your vehicles and property identifiable to the Police in such a way that is virtually impossible for a thief to defeat therefore, the risk involved in stealing this marked property becomes high to the criminals who tend to avoid stealing the property in the first place.
Criminals prefer to steal property where they can easily remove or change the original manufacturer's identification numbers or marks. Tampering with these important identification numbers makes the stolen property less likely to be identified and hinders the police in tracing the real owner.
Datatag changes this, our systems can include literally thousands of unique identification marks or tags which can be permanently hidden within your property. A thief now has the impossible task of removing every single identification mark without damaging the stolen property to avoid the risk of detection whereas a Police Officer now only needs to locate and identify one or two of the marks to assist with a prosecution.
Datatag has made a major impact on reducing theft and the Crown Prosecution Service has a 100% successful prosecution rate when evidence has been supplied by Datatag. Our award winning systems are used to deter theft but increasingly they are being used as a valuable asset tracking system.
