Operation Hands Off! is a nationally coordinated crime prevention strategy. The program includes the use of bait property, warning signs and highly sophisticated MicroDotDNA and ForensicDNA marking technologies that include hidden and prominently displayed markings to greatly reduce the risk of theft.
“We are excited about our partnership with ToolHound,” remarked Pat Cowman, President, Operation Hands Off! “ToolHound understands that a company’s tools and equipment are some of their most valuable assets and need to be protected.”
The program makes registered and marked tools and equipment extremely difficult to sell and increases the risk of detection through a powerful international database and tracking system that cross references the identification data with property identification numbers and makes the same property data available to you and law enforcement officials.
Using a comprehensive tool, location, and employee database, coupled with a simple and accurate bar code or RFID based transaction system, ToolHound tracks the issue and return of assets to contractors and employees and the transfer of assets between various warehouse, job-site and tool room locations. Now ToolHound users can register their tools and equipment with Operation Hands Off! with one simple click. ToolHound customers will also be able to use the specialized marking and signage to help protect their assets.
“ToolHound is committed to innovation,” commented Dean Perry, President of ToolHound. “Working with partners like Operation Hands Off! allows us to provide a new and vital level of service and security to our customers and the community.”
