About

Cheshire Constabulary on behalf of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire awarded a contract to Selectamark Security Systems PLC for the supply of forensic marking products for offender identification and property marking.

The contract, valued at approximately AUD 1,000,000, establishes a framework open to participation by multiple police forces, including Avon and Somerset Constabulary, Devon and Cornwall Police, Dorset Police, Gloucestershire Constabulary, Greater Manchester Police, Lancashire Police, West Mercia Police, West Midlands Police, Wiltshire Police, Police Service of Northern Ireland, Gwent Police, and South Wales Police.

The framework term is 4 years.

The products are intended to uniquely identify offenders through forensic solutions such as spray or grease derived from criminal actions at crime scenes where the product has been covertly or overtly installed.

The initiative aims to reduce theft from domestic and commercial properties and enhance public confidence in Cheshire Constabulary by increasing the number of offences brought to justice.
