Who uses the NMPR?
The NMPR is a powerful tool for Police and Law Enforcement agencies
Launched by Recipero in 2004, the NMPR helps Police and other law enforcement agencies identify personal property quickly and accurately for the purpose of crime investigation and property repatriation.
Created specifically for Police the service is used nationally by all forces, securely providing real-time intelligence and leads regardless of geography or access device.
Over 40,000 Police officers access the NMPR via control centres, handheld mobile devices and computer systems thousands of times each day. Many arrests and charges are brought based on NMPR searches thanks to ownership and property history records provided by Recipero’s Crime Reduction Ecosystem.

“The NMPR was responsible for alerting a store that a sat nav was stolen via CheckMEND. The serial number had been obtained from the victim and loaded onto the NMPR by #opmagpie @wolvescid. When the male took the device into the store they alerted Police and male was arrested. .”

Data sources
Numerous sources, provide data continuously to deliver accurate, reliable intelligence to NMPR users
As a property ownership / history intelligence tool the NMPR is unrivalled. This is in a large part due to the access it has to the rich data resource that is Recipero’s Crime Reduction Ecosystem, you can learn more about the wider ecosystem here but in a nutshell…
National Police data sharing
The NMPR is the unifying solution that pulls data relating to mobile phone and personal property crimes and investigations from each of the UK Police forces. It is the UK’s national property database, enabling officers to share and easily access crime data regardless of Force boundaries and differing IT systems that aligns perfectly with today’s mobile population.
Public property registration
Property marking has always been a prominent public message to ensure recovered possessions can be identified. The internet has taken this a significant step further with property registration systems such as Report My Loss and the Immobilise Property Register where the public are encouraged to freely register property pre-loss/theft.
The NMPR also has access to many other sources of publicly provided data thanks to partnerships schemes.
Retailers, Traders and other organisations
Working closely with businesses that are involved in the sale and secondary trade of mobile devices and other types of property is a key element of the crime reduction ecosystem. The NMPR benefits from Recipero’s direct relationships with numerous businesses and trade organisations all of which work to share information to protect their customers and combat crime.
Insurers
The insurance industry have always worked closely with law-enforcement to help in both the speedy processing and validation of claims, and also to help identify and mitigate fraud.
