Operation ID (Identification)
Engraving your property means that it will more likely find its way back to you, should it be stolen. Through the Operation ID program, University Police and other law enforcement agencies can return recovered personal property.
- You will be assigned a lifetime personal identification number. That number will be engraved, using equipment from University Police onto your valuable possessions.
- The Operation ID program is recognized throughout the U.S. and Canada, so any marked item recovered within those boundaries can be traced to its owner.
- Your participation in this program continues indefinitely, and you can engrave your ID number on possessions that you acquire after you leave SUNY Potsdam.
