Operation Identification is an important tool in combating the theft of property from homes and businesses. Many law enforcement agencies contact subjects that have what appears to be "stolen" or unaccountable property in their possession. However, if we are unable to determine who the real owner is, consequently the property is not returned to the rightful owner.

Operation Identification makes this "recovery'" of property possible. The process is simple; it requires that you engrave your driver's license number or your business name on each item of value within your home or business. This way if the stolen property was recovered, it could be returned to the owner.

The Pleasanton Police Department loans out engravers at no cost, to Pleasanton residents and business owners. To borrow an engraver just come by the Police Department located at 4833 Bernal Avenue and we will be happy to provide this important tool in combating theft.
