Laptop Registration

A laptop is a valuable resource for students and workers on the go. Laptops often contain personal information and data that is important to the owner. Unfortunately, they also have great value to thieves and burglars.

Registering your laptop can be an important step in preventing victimization. Registration stickers often act as a deterrant, making the item difficult to pawn or sell quickly. Information obtained during registration such as make, model, and serial number also make it easier for police to identify recovered items and return them to their proper owners.

University of Colorado Police and the Boulder Police Department offer a laptop computer registration program that is quick, easy, and free. Owners can bring their laptops to one of the four registration sites listed below so that their computer can be marked with a tamper-resistant sticker:
