Numerous number of mobile phones are lost or
stolen each year in
Singapore. Mobile phones are very attractive to criminals as they
are easily sold on. Mobile equipment may be stolen through criminal
acts, such as assault, robberies and pick pocketing, or lost through
the carelessness of the owners. However majority of these devices
are never returned to their owners because, even if found, there is
no way of knowing to whom they actually belong.
The Mobile Phone Secure Database, officially
launched, holds details of mobile phone ownerships. The owners of
mobile phones are encouraged to register their identity ownership
details and intrinsic identifiers of the item, such as model serial
or mobile phone IMEI numbers. Each GSM mobile phone has a unique
International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI), which is used to
identify the mobile phone even though the SIM card is removed or
changed. Many countries have acknowledged the use of the IMEI in
reducing the effect of mobile phone theft, which has increased
exponentially over the last few years.
This MPSD crime prevention initiative will
help recover your mobile phones or IT equipment, which will prevent
loss of your important data. Criminals think twice about stealing
and dealing when owners can be easily identified. This website will
be updated on a regular basis on our services.
