Merseyside Crime Reduction Success

MERSEYSIDE Police released the first set of crime reduction statistics after the launch of Operation Aquila in June 2014, which is using SelectaDNA in targeted crime hotspot areas. 

• Business robberies across the targeted areas are down 62% 

• Domestic burglaries across the targeted areas are down 40% 

It is expected that domestic burglaries will fall even more over the next few months thanks to a sustained marketing campaign by Merseyside Police involving billboard and bus stop advertising which continues to raise the profile of the scheme among criminals.
