Operation ID Least Known
Operation ID is the least known, but possibly the best suited for building trust between law enforcement and citizens in today’s world.
Things like Ring, ADT and Nextdoor are not technically crime-prevention measures. Instead, they are crime deterrents. To be a preventive, there must be a prescriptive and programmatic strategy for linking the police with citizens in a trusting way.

My Property ID Registry is the global, state of the art of Operation ID and meets those strict standards of being a crime-prevention strategy. In today’s atmosphere, it might be a valuable tool for police to better connect with the citizens they serve.
