Operation ID is offered free of charge by the New York City Police Department and involves registering the serial number of valuable portable electronics along with the owners name and contact information. Items can also be engraved with a uniquely identifiable serial number prefaced with the letters N.Y.C.

Benefits from this program include:
- Stolen property in the possession of a thief is easily traceable to its rightful owner
- Found property can easily be identified and quickly returned to the rightful owner

Contact your local precinct crime prevention officer for more on how to register your portable electronics or use the below link to download a registration form and return it to your local precinct to register your device.
