CYCA News & Events

Operation Identification Information

The Memphis Police Department launched Operation Identification at the February 10, CYCA General Meeting. The focus of the program is to encourage residents to record the serial numbers of their electronics and other valuables so that if they are stolen the police will have a way to return their items if recovered, and just as important, to prosecute the offenders before they can rob again. A form is proved below for you to download and print from home. Once your form is completed, show it to Maggie Cardwell, the CYCA director, and she will give you "Operation Identification" stickers for your home. The CYCA will not keep any of your information, we just want to encourage everyone to gather their information and keep it in a safe place.
