S.T.O.P. Program
Security Tracking of Office Property

The key to the S.T.O.P. program is a "unique, tamper-proof patented plate, with barcode and indelible tattoo — a simple, inexpensive solution to three major problems associated with overseeing office equipment: theft prevention, equipment recovery, and asset tracking."

• The security plate is sealed to your computer case. Requiring up to 800 pounds of force to remove, the plate bears a unique ID number, a warning message, and an 800 number (to call for ownership verification and anti-theft information).

• An Indelible Tattoo — underneath the plate — is automatically chemically etched into the case when the plate is sealed.

• If a thief succeeds in removing the plate, a "STOLEN PROPERTY" message — permanently embedded in the casing — would be revealed with your company ID number and the 800 security phone number.

• A bright red Police Identifiable Warning Sticker adds to the deterrence effectiveness.

• The device makes the computer worthless for thieves since it is virtually impossible to resell. It allows rapid tracking of lost or misplaced equipment.

• Each plate ID number is registered in the S.T.O.P. international database, along with the equipment description and ownership information.

A simple 800 call to S.T.O.P. quickly verifies the legitimate owner. Stolen property is reported to the anti-theft hotline. S.T.O.P. will immediately help to notify the police and register your property with the FBI and INTERPOL.

The cost is $2
5.00 for a three-year period!

If you or your department wishes to have these theft deterrent items placed on your computers please call:

David Landino 432-5779 david.landino@yale.edu
