SmartWater – a forensic liquid which shows up under ultraviolet light – is being trialled by the Commissioner as part of her ongoing work to protect Women and Girls.
The Commissioner will be funding a pilot scheme in Erewash which, if successful, will be rolled-out across the county and the city. SmartWater shows up on skin for up to six weeks and on clothing for much longer and categorically links the perpetrator to the specific batch of SmartWater that was used on places such as door handles, gates, and spray traps.
