Microdots are immersed in a clear water-based adhesive that contains ultra-violet trace elements to assist Police in microdot detection. The microdots are applied to property using an aerosol can or cotton bud. Each microdot (about the size of a grain of sand) is laser etched with a unique identifying number which is invisible to the naked eye. The unique number is then registered with the Queensland Police Service.
The Queensland Police Service is equipped with ultra-violet detection equipment to detect microdots, increasing the chances of returning stolen or lost property to owners and assisting with the prosecution of property offenders.
Electrical appliances, CD’s, jewellery, hand tools, bicycles, marine, and car equipment can all be marked with microdot technology.
Microdot Kits also contain door and window stickers that warn offenders property is marked for Police identification.
The residential and business community can purchase microdot technology from any Police-Citizen’s Youth Club located at:
