Proof Positive® Copper Law Enforcement Perspective
LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSPECTIVE ON PROOF POSITIVE® COPPER
Many copper theft-deterrent products fail to provide the proof of ownership available in Southwire’s Proof Positive® Copper with TraceID Technology. Rightful ownership and sales records are stored in an secure online database accessible to law enforcement, recyclers, and utilities 24/7. Stolen copper can be identified in seconds-increasing apprehension rates and providing the evidentiary proof needed for prosecution.
- Tinned outer stranding makes it easy to quickly identify as "that marked copper with the traceable owner's codes"
- Web-based tracking system allows recycler to identify the owner of each foot of conductor within seconds by entering the codes etched on the center strand
- Sales records in combination with encoded proof provide physical evidence required in court
- Proof Positive® Copper is designed to eventually deter theft because it is recognizable and traceable
