IDENTIFICATION MARKING SOLUTIONS was founded and developed by Henri Steynberg, who started his career in the South African Police during 1979 in Pretoria, South Africa.
While serving in the Uniform Branch he attended to crime scenes such as housebreaking and theft, vehicle-theft and robbery. In 1983 he joined the Detective Branch as an investigating officer. He is in possession of a Bachelor’s degree (Political Science) awarded by the University of Pretoria. Upon completion of the prescribed Officers Course, and after promotion to the rank of Lieutenant, he founded and commanded the first “Riot and Violent Crime Investigation Unit” in Pretoria. |
He was later transferred to the “Vehicle Crime Investigation Unit” where he was involved in the investigation of vehicle-theft syndicates - (organized crime). During his service at this Specialised Unit, he received training in the Identification of Stolen Vehicles at major vehicle manufacturers such as: BMW, Volkswagen, Nissan, Delta and Samcor.
During 1997 he was transferred to the “Organised Crime Investigation Unit” where he headed the Unit in the investigation of organised crime syndicates that were involved in vehicle-theft, hi-jacking, housebreaking, and other crimes such as the illegal manufacturing and dealing in narcotics.
Over the years he acquired first-hand information on how these organized crime syndicates operated, as undercover agents were employed to infiltrate the core of these syndicates.
With his extensive knowledge and hands-on experience acquired in the Police Service, he decided to combat crime from another angle and established IDENTIFICATION MARKING SOLUTIONS t/a Id-It® in the year 2002.
