RURAL CRIME CONTINUES TO BE A HUGE ISSUE, BLIGHTING OUR HARD-WORKING FARMERS AND THEIR FAMILIES!

The NFU latest Rural Crime Report shows an increase of over 4% on previous years, standing at an estimated £52 million per year… This can be put down to now, more organised than ever, criminal gangs who target high value machinery for overseas markets, where supply is more limited.

CESAR is the only officially sanction security marking product available today AND is fully support by the Agricultural Engineers Association. Fitted as standard to the majority of leading manufacturers in the Agricultural sector, it also attracts a 12.5% discount on premiums through the NFU. CESAR is also available as a retro-fit to all machines, including tractors, ATVs, loaders, etc for a one-off fee… As low as £135.00 + VAT through a network of authorised and fully trained installers.

Datatag, the technology partner to the scheme, has products to help secure GPS units, power tools, 4x4s and trailers; all of which are prized by criminals as easy pickings. Datatag’s multi-layered approach includes the use of overt AND covert forensic technologies, including hidden markers, UV etching, microdots, RFID transponders and forensic DNA to ensure that your asset, be it small or large, is protected by the ultimate theft deterrent.

On top of this, Datatag is backed up by arguably the most comprehensive database of protected assets globally, which is now available to law enforcement through both a 24/7 contact centre, but also a brand new, simple and secure online portal named RAPID which draws information from not only Datatag’s database, but also the Police National Computer (PNC), the new Police LEDS database and also the insurers INFNOL database.
