D.C. 20310 I'IEPLYTO ATntNTION OF DAPE-HR E-PS 21 MAY 1981 SUBJECT: Army Crime Watch Campaign SEE DISTRIBUTION 1. The Army Crime Watch Campaign, announced in DA Circular 190-80-1, Depart ment of the Army Crime Prevention Campaigns, will be conducted 7-21 Sep 81. Major areas of emphasis for the campaign include: a.' Security of barracks, bachelor quarters, and family residences. b. Army Operation Identification, which entails identification marking and recording of personal property. c. Neighborhood watches, which involve looking out for the safety and security of each individual IS property and their neighbor's property. 2. The purpose of this letter is to provide commanders some concepts and con siderations for use as general supporting guides in development of MACOM and installation Army Crime Watch Campaign programs. Procedures for implementing the Army-wide campaign should be based on a thorough assessment of local con ditions, target audiences, and resources available. Army campaign efforts should complement and interface with local civilian crime prevention progrms. Civilian community programs which are applicable to each installation's situa ti on s houl d be ; ncorporated as part of the i nsta 11 ati on Army Crime Watch Campaign. 3. The major objectives of the Army Crime Watch Campaign are at Incl 1. Suggested campaign themes which can be incorporated and expanded for local application are at Incl 2. The success of this campaign is conti gent upon an informed and highly motivated military community willing to collectively par ticipate in reducing opportunities for criminal victimization within the community. Public information disseminated through command information and an extensive multi-media effort with public affairs support is essential to increasing awareness and stimulating the attitude of the community. Formula tion and implementation of the campaign must be a mutually supporting, con certed effort encanpass i ng active part; ci pat; on by commanders and key staff members. 4. A review of national and Army wide housebreaking/burglary offenses (Incl 3) indicates these crime rates are increasing and represent a SUbstantial financial loss to victims. Provost marshal/security officers should analyze .,,-. loca" crime rates, trends, and other crime related characteristics which will A-l .J:<..(.; -L~U--L--L~ 25 J un 81 21 MAY 1981 DAPE-IHRE-PS SUBJECT: Army Crime Watch Campaign assist in detennining specific courses of action to be taken ;·n support af th i scampai gn. 5.

The Anny Operation Identification Program .deli.neated at Inc1 4, incll,;Ides a standard Army-wide owner applied numbering system for marking of personal pro ... perty and procedures for loc ati ng owners ·ofrecovered property. Thi s program is a~nounced ;n Change 1 to AR 190-31 which will be published in the near future. One of the most important facets of this program is educating other mil itary, ci vil i an, and fore; gn national law enforcement agencies concerning our concept and standard ownerappliednumb;ering system. This headquarters wi llprclTlulgate the program to law enforcement and crime prevention organiza tions at the national level and request widest dissemination of this informa tion. Major commands and installations should coordinate with local, state, and foreign national agencies to ensure they are cognizant of this program and who to notify when property is recovered. 7. In support of the Army Operati on Identifi C(it; on Program, DA Form 4986, Personal Property Record (proposed form at lncl 5), andOA Label 167, Warning AnnyOperation Identification, are being published. The DA label is a 3 x 5 inch adhesive decal which can be displayed in 'aconspicious location outside a room or building announcing property inside has been marked for identification by law enforcement agencies. Overseas conrnandsand installations located in geographical areas wh.ere another language is prevalent should consider devel oping a similar label in that language. Initial distribution of the form and label in CONUS w;l1 be made directly to most CONUS installation AG stockrooms for unit requisitioning by 1 July 1981. Some Army depots and smaller activi ties not receiving direct distribution may contact other installation AG stockrooms to obtain desired distribution. The DA Form 4986 negative will be provided to OCONUS AG printing plants for rep.rint and distribution. Cop'ies of A- 2 EC 190-1-19 25 Jun 81 DAPE-HR E-PS 21 MAY 1981 SUBJECT: Army Crime Watch Campaign the DA Label 167 will be provided to OCONUS AG publication centers. Subse quent unit requisitions for these publications can be submitted to the AG publication' centers in Baltimore and St. Louis. 8. Army Neighborhood Watch ;s a systematic approach to organizing members residing in a community to become directly involved in reducing the opportuni ties for crime within their neighborhood. This program can serve as a catalyst in promoting citizen involvement in their community and enhancing law lenforcement/cormlUnity relations. An outline of the program with basic con siderations for local application is an Inc1 6. 9. Two log.os are being utilized to publicize the Anny Crime Watch Campaign. The Anny Crime Watch Eye, shown at Incl 5, is utilized by several states and was reconTTlended by the International Society of Crime Prevention Practitioners to be the international logo. This logo has no copyright and local reproduc tion is encburaged. The McGruff Dog featured in the Crime Prevention Coali tion's "Take a Bite Out of Crime ll is protected,by copyright and HQDA has rece; ved authorization for its use. Any crime prevention material which includes the dog character or slogan, IITake A Bite Out of Crime ll , must include the copyright, 111979 the Advertising Council, Inc.", and a copy of the mater; a1 be sent to the Pub 1i c Re 1at; ons Manager, Nat; ona 1 Counc 11 on Crime and Delinquency, 411 Hackensack Avenue, Hackensack, NJ 07601. Three DA Army Crime Watch posters are being published for pinpoint unit distribution. A \,..,. supplemental distribution to MACOM and installation provost marshal/security officers is also being made in the quantities requested. There are several excellent crime watch related films available for purchase and rental on the commercial market. One film, liThe Army Reports 57, The Open Lock", ;s avail able through Army film libraries. 10. An integral part of our Army Crime Watch is assessing the value and impact of the campaign. We need to determine if objectives were met, what effect the program had on our serv;cemembers, and what modifications should be implemented to enhance our crime prevention efforts. Although many variables may interact in producing the total assessment, certain factors such as an analysis of crime trends, the extent of cOnTTlunity participation and eliciting feedback from the community concerning their attitudes and preceptions should be achieved. This headquarters will solicit your evaluation of the campaign at a future date. 11. The security of residences, operation identification, and neighborhood ,~atch are be; ng adopted by an ; ncreas i ng number of COnTTlun ity groups, both nationally and internationally. Many of these programs have achieved signifi cant result~ in reducing crime and the fear of victimization, and have comple mented other community improvement efforts. Several MACOMs and installations have also instituted outstanding programs in these areas of crime prevention. ~Ie wholeheartedly solicit your comments and recommendations concerning this EC 190-1-19 25 Jun 81 O:AP E...

EC 190-1-19 25 Jun81 Theme: There are various cost-free security measUres service members should do to increase the security of their living quarters. Subthemes: a. Keep doors and windows locked whether at home or away. b. Entrances to the billets and family quarters should be sufficiently lighted so that anyone near the entrances can be seen during the hours of darkness. c. Insure the quarters building number is clearly visible from the street. This will assist emergency vehicles in locating your quarters when seconds could be vital. d. Do not leave an extra key hidden outside. e. Keep quarters and car keys separate. It only takes a few seconds for a parking lot or car wash attendant to make an impression of your key. f. Do not attach a tag '",ith name and addre,ss to your quarters key. If lost, a burglar knows where to go. g. Do not 1eave quarter; keys ; n your coat pocket when you check your coat or hang it in a public place. h. Know your emergency phone numbers. Affixing these numbers to your .,- telephones would be helpful. In addition, know your neighbor's phone numbers. i, Do not leave large amounts of cash in your quarters. This is the num ber one target for burglars. j. Do not leave your valuables out in the open. An intruder will usually be in your quarters a short time and will take what ;s in plain sight. k. If-you're to be gone from your quarters for a short time, don't announce your absence by leaving notes outside your door. 1. If you are out for the evening, leave a light and radio on - make your quarters look lived in. m. Mark your personal vcluables with a unique identifying number and pre pare a record inventory of ttese items. n. Do not count on your dog to do what good locks and security procedures will do. ,.:,,1 A-7 EC 190-1-19 25 Jun 81 0.

SUBTHEMES: a. Marked stolen property is more difficult for the thief to dispose of. b. If a thief is stopped or caught with marked stolen property, the property fan be used as evidence for prosecution. c. Recovered lost or stolen property cannot be returned unless some means of identifying the rightful owner ;s found on the property. d. Engraving your personal valuables with a prefix "USA" followed by the service member's social security number will allow any agency recovering the property to know the owner is a member of the US Army and to notify the nearest Army installation. Your location can then be determined even if you have been reaSSigned, by using the Army worldwide locator system. You may then be notified of the property recovery. SlAce this locator system lists only social security numbers and locations of active Army service members, family members should use the service member's social security number with USA prefix in marking their personal items. e.

EC 190-1-19 Army Operation Identification 25 .Tun 81 1. Background. Operation Identification, which entails marking of property in order' for it to be identifiable and traceable to its owner if lost or sto len, was initiated by th(~ Monterey Park, California Police Department in 1963, and has been adopted by [llOre than 80 percent of the police departments in the US. Operation Identification isa low cost, highly effective crime prevention program. However, its success is conti gent upon the willingness of indivi duals and communities to actively participate in marking and identifying their personal property. 2. Object; ves. a. The Army Operation Identification program is designed to encourage Army service members and their families to mark their personal high value and pilferable property with a standard Army-wide owner applied number. This num bering system would permit positive identification of the property and deter mining ~he location of the owner in the event of theft or lost. b. The principle advantages of Army Operation Identification are theft deterrence and recovery of personal property. Marked stolen property is more difficult to dispose of, and illegal possession can result in prosecution of a thief. Recovered lost and/or stolen property can only be returned if there is some means of identifying and locating the rightful owner. 3. Methods of identifying property. a. Various methods of establishing positive identification and ownership of property in the event of loss and theft are available for individuals to use. Each method has advantages and limitations, and a combination of these methods would be required to ensure identification of all high value personal property. (1) Inscribing the owner applied number with an etching or engraving tool. Thls method would allow the recovering agency to visually identify the owner applied number inscribed on the property for notification of the owner and subsequent return of the property. In addition, electrostatic markers are availaqle for use at no cost to the individual. However, some personnel are reluctant to use this method since it would mar the property. The inscription should be made in a location that can be readily seen by the recovering agency, but which would not deface the appearance or reduce the value of the property. SOOle high value personal items such as coins, jewelry, and silver cannot be inscribed with an,owner applied number. Another method of identify ing th~se items would be required. . (2) USing invisible fluorescent owner applied markings such as ink, pow der, or paste. This method of invisible marking would be quickly detected by the agency recovering the property with the use of an ultraviolet light and Would not mar the property. However, the fluorescent markings and ultraviolet InclOsure 4 A-13 / EC 190-1-19 25 Sun 81 Tight are an addlt 1'0",.1 cost. and man): ag;eftl.te, *' R'Oit Iit_e' u~ttr,avf'olet If;g~ts to inspect re;sove1"ect pTfop'ertJ'. ..- (ji) Using a: 1 as.er pbotog·raphfe: ,,,,oc.ess to; tdsittf) flfhlf@~;$.

Personal Property Re'Cord, ca.n be used to perform this function. S. Property idantification numbering .•. a.. There are various types of owner applied nUimberfng system'S uti1i~ed to mark personal high vah,.e items. Criteria thatt ShOUld be considered in deter mining which owner appli ed numbering system to incorporate include: (l)lJniqueness, where no twO' people have the same identifier. (2) Penn.anenc!. so the owner applied nu.mberw1l1 not change. (3) Ubiquity, so an id.entifying number is available to any individual who des ires one." 2 A,",: 14 EC 190-1-19 . 25 Jun 81 (4) Availability, where the identifying number can be easily obtained and remembered. (5) Indispensable, so there are incentives requiring an individual to have the number. (6) Privacy, so the number is not a means of infringing upon an indivi dual's right to privacy. (7) Uniformity, so the owner applied number would be readily recognized by law enforcement agencies who handle or come into contact with the recovered property. (8) Traceability, so the property owner can be identified and located. b. The most commonly used owner applied numbering systems include: (1) Driver's license number with the issuing state abbreviation prefix. (2) Social security number. (3) Personal numbers assigned to individuals by a local law enforcement agency. (4) Personal numbers with the marking agency's National Crime Information Center originating agency identification number. (5) A private numbering system maintained by a commercial organization. 6. Standard Army numbering system. To ensure all property identification numbering criteria are met, the standard US Army-wide owner applied numbering system is designated as the service member's social security number with "USA" prefix. Upon recovery of lost or stolen property by other military or civil ian law enforcement agencie';, the "USA" prefix owner applied number would alert the recovering agency that the property belongs to a member of the US Army. The recoveri ng agencJ woul d then contact the nearest Army i nsta 11 at; on provost marshal/security office concerning the property and owner applied num ber inscribed. The service number can then be identified and located through the Army worlctYv'ide locator system. Since this locator system lists only social security numbers and locations of active Army service members, family members should use the service member's social security number with USA prefix in marking their personal items. 7. Identifying and locating owners of recovered property. a. The installation provost marshal/security officer should be the initiator of tracer actions to identify and locate the owner of recovered per sonal property marked with the standard Army Operation Identification number ing system ••.

Neighborhood Watch is an organized netword of citizens interact ing with other neighbors and the polite in preventing and detecting crime in their neighborhood. law enforcement efforts to reduce crime cannot be effectively accomplished without the support and cooperation of all citizens. A strong comnunHy involvement with neighbors helping themselves and other neighbors in becoming more alert to activities in the neighborhood, protecting their property and reporting suspicious activities is essential to an effec tive crime prevention program. 2. Objectives. The Army neighborhood watch program is designed to encourage Army service members and their families to actively participate in protecting their own property and the property of their neighbors, joining community crime prevention programs and reporting suspicious activities to the military police. The program is designed to develop the follow;ng: a. Awareness of community crime trends and prevention efforts. b. Knowledge of quarters security procedures. c. A cooperative system of surveillance o~er each neighbor~s property. d. Accurate observation and reporting of suspicious activities. e. Establishing reliable two-way information links between the community and military police. :3. Organ; zat ion of Army Ne; ghborhood Watch. The program would be organi zed by a block concept for each floor or building;n a troop billets and street or apartment building in family quarters. Installations with large troop con centrati ons and multiple family housing areas woul d establish nei ghborhood sectors encompassing several neighborhood block groups ~;thin a specific geo graphical area. Troop billet sectors should be structured maintaining unit ; ntegrity. a. Neighborhood block chiefs. (1) Each neighborhood block would appoint a volunteer to be the block chief. The block chief would be the focal point for block watch activtties and be responsible for the following: (a) Organizing block crime prevention activities. (bY Conducting periodic block meetings. (c) Maintaining coordination with the military police for information and assistance. (d) Maintaining a roster of participating block members.

A possible adjunct of the Army Neighborhood Watch and crime reporting program ;s implementation of a dedicated crime reporting telephone number located at the military police/security desk. This program would allow anyone in the community to make an immediate report of any crime or suspicious activ it; they observe. An effective crime reporting program would be a deterrent to crime and enhance law enforcement responses to such incidents. b. Considerations in implementing a crime reporting program would include the fo 11 ow; ng: _ (1) Personnel reporting incidents should be allowed to remain anony- mous if they desire, and this fact should be publicized. Some individuals will report their observations only if they know they can remain anonymous. If deemed feasible, neighborhood watch blocks could be provided designated block numbers that could be used when reporting crimes or other suspicious activities. This system would allow neighborhood blocks to receive feedback on the disposition of the reported incident. 3 A-2? 25 Jun 81-"" (2) Th.e dedicated phone number used $1\{1uld ~ e:asy to remember.
