Operation Identification is a citizen's burglary prevention program for use in homes and business. The Operation ID program involves the marking of property with an identifying number, recording important information and using digitally photography  as a means of discouraging burglary and theft.  In communities where it has been properly implemented, Operation Identification has shown dramatic results in its ability to reduce burglaries.  Mark your valuables with your Driver's License Number so that your property can be easily traced and identified as yours. What Makes Operation Identification So Effective? Marked property is difficult for a burglar to dispose of or re-sell. It can be traced to the rightful owner with relative ease. If the burglar is caught with marked property, It is solid evidence of possession of stolen goods. How to Participate When marking your valuables (owner applied #), always use your Drivers License Number, never your Social Security number. Also, always use the two letter state identifier along with your license number.  Notice there are no gaps or spaces in the numbers shown.                  " KS526123456KS " As you mark your items, always engrave the number on an area that cannot be easily dismantled, and which is not easily seen. After marking your property, make a list of your valuables  and keep a copy of the list in a safe place. If you should subsequently become a burglary victim, you will be able to quickly describe the stolen property from the list.  Of course some items cannot be marked and we suggest a photograph of these items. The online form will allow you to attach photos to the forms. This will be of great help to the police department in our attempts to recover the stolen property. "Burglary is one of the most frequently committed crimes in the United States. By participating in Operation Identification you are taking one important step to protect your possessions from burglary and theft."   Commonly stolen items: Computers, Guns, Jewelry, Golf Clubs, Bicycles, Cameras, Fishing Equipment, Power Mowers, Radios, DVD players, Stereos, Speakers, Televisions, Musical Instruments, Power Tools, Hand Tools, Kitchen Appliances, Car Stereos, Car Accessories, and including credit cards and personal information.       HELPFUL NUMBERS   POLICE ISSUES To report drug/gang activity: 268-SCAT Patrol West: 337-9400 Patrol South: 337-9200 Patrol North: 688-9500 Patrol East: 688-9300 Community Affairs: 268-4101 Gang/Felony Assault Section: 268-4191 Other City Departments Office of Central Inspection/neighborhood inspection: 268-4477 Zoning issues: 268-4481   Commercial zoning: 268-4479 Health Department/Environmental Services (bulky waste, junk vehicles, tall grass): 268-8351  Neighborhood improvement program: 268-4313 Animal Control.... 268-8378 Signs in the right of way: 268-4479 PUBLIC WORKS MAINTENANCE ISSUES Potholes and deteriorated streets.... 268-4071          Street Cleaning.... 268-4026 Damaged or inoperable traffic signs/signals.... 268-4029 Flooding or drainage problems.... 268-4090   Our Mission The Wichita Police Department’s mission is to provide professional and ethical public safety services in partnership with citizens to identify, prevent and solve the problems of crime, fear of crime, social disorder and neighborhood decay, thereby improving the quality of life in our community.
