IN A first for regional NSW, criminals will no longer feel safe as new DNA technology helps authorities put them behind bars. <\/p>\n
The innovative technology known as the DNA Guardian is set to revolutionise crime prevention in Dubbo, after it was installed at Club Dubbo and convenience store Lucky 7 yesterday. <\/p>\n
It is the first time this kind of technology has been implemented in regional NSW. <\/p>\n
DNA Security Solutions, based in Adelaide, specialises in criminal marking systems. When a DNA Guardian unit is installed within a premises, it can immediately pick up on when a crime occurs. <\/p>\n
Business development worker Jeffre Murray explained how sterile water could help identify a criminal with one simple spray. <\/p>\n
When a DNA Guardian unit is installed in a pub or shop, crime can easily be picked up. The unit is triggered when a theft occurs, and sprays the criminal with sterile water, marking them as they leave the premises, Mr Murray said. <\/p>\n
DNA workers and business owners, he said, would immediately receive a text message informing them of the crime. Once it is brought to their attention, they can then view CCTV footage, get a clearer idea of what the criminal looks like, and help police track them down. <\/p>\n
Once police are notified, they only have to shine a forensic blue light on criminals to match their DNA with what was found at the scene of the crime, and formally identify them as the responsible party, Mr Murray said. <\/p>\n
He said he had notified members of Dubbo Police before his arrival to Dubbo, who were quite impressed with the DNA equipment. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
