Crime in the equestrian community is on the increase, with horses, tack and trailers/lorries
costing many thousands of pounds and much of this unidentifiable once it has been stolen,
there has for a long time been a pressing need for a reliable, secure solution.
The NECD is an internet based system that allows you to upload serial numbers, microchip
numbers, passport numbers, chassis numbers, post codes and if your item does not already
have a number, it will generate a unique 5 digit serial number which can be stamped into the
leather or painted on to your item. You can also upload pictures and a description of your horse
or other item.
Once registered, your item can be searched on using a web enabled mobile phone or the
“Check-It” box on our home page. This is completely free of charge and you do not need to be
a member to search on an item. The police, port authorities, auction houses, in fact anyone
anywhere in the world can instantly establish if the item has been stolen. If it has, they will be
told the date of the incident, the phone number of the police station dealing with the crime and
the crime reference number. If it has not been stolen, they will be informed that the item is for
example a brown Jaguar Dressage saddle and that it has not been reported as being stolen.
They will NEVER be given your address or contact details. If they need to contact the owner,
they can do so via the NECD by asking us to pass on their contact details.
The NECD system also allows members to send alerts via text message to all registered
members within 10 miles of their location to warn about criminal or suspicious activity in the
locality or such things as loose dogs, slippery roads etc. This service is completely free of
charge.
All 43 UK police forces have been trained in the use of the NECD system.
The System is highly secure and is certified to ISO 2701-2005 which is the highest data security
standard available. All of the data resides in a secure commercial data centre and it is NEVER
downloaded to any form of portable device such as a laptop.
Where can I get more information? We recommend you visit our home page at:
www.necd.org.uk and watch the Video/Virtual Tour. You can also call us on 0800 019 9044
however you might need to wait for a call back as we are all volunteers.
If every equestrian registered their horses and equipment, thieves would never be able to sell
your stolen property. Help us to empower you by signing up NOW!
